Confessing the Dodge

CONFESSING THE DODGE. H. W. Beecher thus ingeniously confesses the dodge that is necessary to get over a difficulty in popular theology: "We, who believe that Christ is God, dodge the declaration that he died, and change it so that it shall mean something else. We do not like to see it in a hymn, or in a sermon, that God died. And so we attempt to say that it was the human that died in Christ."
