"This figural identification—one of antitype to type, of Jesus' [filial] fear to our own [filial] fear—engaged the remarkable paradox by which Christ both takes on that aspect most embedded in the creature's character and in this divine assumption makes that creaturely aspect all the more impossible and irrational to escape."
Ephraim Radner, A profound ignorance: modern pneumatology and its anti-modern redemption (Waco, TX: Baylor University Press, 2019), 298, underscoring and italics mine.
This is Radner's anti-modern, anti-pneumatological redemption. Cur Deus homo? So that we might become (first?) nothing else.
