In The Son of God Beyond the Flesh: A Historical and Theological Study of the Extra Calvinisticum, Andrew M. McGinnis examines the historical and theological development of the doctrine known as the extra Calvinisticum the teaching that the incarnate Son of God continued to exist beyond the flesh. Drawing on the writings of Cyril of Alexandria, Thomas Aquinas, Zacharias Ursinus, and later theologians, McGinnis explores the doctrine's significance for Christology, the Lord's Supper, and Reformed theology. He also considers contemporary attempts to recover the doctrine and argues for its continued importance within a careful biblical and theological understanding of Christ's incarnation.
