This is my new theological question for the next few days. It came up as I'm trudging through "Severus of Antioch" edited by Pauline Allen. Basically, the Orthodox teaching according to St. Severus is that God the Word assumed humanity including the "rational soul."
Now, my first instinct is that Divinity would have "taken the place" of the soul in the Incarnate Christ. As per St. Severus' teaching, I am trying to correct my understanding of the soul. I have some thoughts on the subject, but I'd love to read some feedback (stevekurian@yahoo.com).
