Incarnation
CRITICAL: shares Arabic’s tawhid-denial problem. Persia’s own pre-Islamic Zoroastrian cosmology (Ahura Mazda engaging creation through intermediary emanations, the Amesha Spentas) offers a subtler secondary risk: ‘incarnation’ could be imaginatively absorbed as one more intermediary-being emanation rather than the full, unique, singular assumption of human nature by the eternal Son.
