Incarnation makes God’s human coming-to-be the achieved content absolute religion sought

Evidence

The coming-to-be-human of the divine being is ‘the simple content of absolute religion’, a content sought by the previous configurations of religion but never achieved. What was missing was the manifest nature of this being, perhaps even the time of Revelation was missing: for isn’t this another name for ‘intuitively perceived necessity’? God revealing himself reveals a new modality of coming-to-be. A fundamental temporality, in its very concept irreducible to no other, arrives with the Incarnation. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 864
