CHAPTER II

THE EFFECTS OF THE HYPOSTATIC UNION
The effects of the Hypostatic Union, in their concrete manifestation, are called attributes of Christ. They may be considered in relation ( i ) to the Person of our Redeemer, or (2) to His Di- vine Nature, or (3) to His human nature.
The attributes of Christ's Divine Nature man- ifestly coincide with the divine attributes in gen- eral, and as such are treated in the first two vol- umes of this series of dogmatic text-books.^
In the following two Sections we shall con- sider: (i) The attributes of Christ's Divine Person and (2) those of His Human Nature.
