Key Notes
Glossary
Jiang's Dantean description of humans as both mortal bodies from matter and immortal souls breathed directly by God.
definition
Jiang says one central Nicaean conflict concerns Jesus's nature, and he frames the resulting doctrine as Jesus being both God and man, divine and human at once.
model
The student proposes a literary rationale for Jesus's dual nature: a purely divine Jesus would be hard to relate to, while a purely human Jesus would not seem able to perform saving acts.

Jiang says the real theological reason Jesus must be human as well as divine is that crucifixion only functions as sacrifice if Jesus can truly die, making redemption meaningful.
model
Jiang says redemption has to improve humanity rather than merely clear a legal debt, which is why Jesus' dual nature matters: a man redeems humanity, but only because that man is also God.

Humans have a dual nature: the body is mortal matter made through natural law, but the soul is breathed directly by God and carries the divine essence of love.
