This question contains six articles that gradually develop the doctrine
of the fitness of the Incarnation. St. Thomas begins by
discussing:
|
(1) the fitness of the incarnation;
(2) its necessity for the reparation of the human race;
(3) its proximate motive, whether, if there had been no sin, God
would have become incarnate;
(4) whether God became incarnate for the removal of original sin
more chiefly than for actual sin;
(5) why it was not more fitting that God should become incarnate in
the beginning of the human race;
(6) why it is not more fitting that the Incarnation should take
place at the end of the world.
