At any rate
[the Christian Church] was continually haunted by a Docetism which made [Christ’s]
human nature very different from ours and indeed largely explained it away as a
matter of simulation or “seeming” rather than reality. Theologians shrank from
admitting human growth, human ignorance, human mutability, human struggle and
temptation, into their conception of the Incarnate Life, and treated it as
simply a divine life lived in a human body (and sometimes even this was
conceived as essentially different from our bodies) rather than a truly human
life lived under the psychical conditional humanity. (D.M. Baillie, God was in Christ: An Essay on Incarnation
and Atonement [Scribner, 1948], 11)
