This book tries to underscore, the foundational and most basic manifestation of the Divine, in and through the person Jesus and reinforces God’s self-identification with humanity and the world of the weak, vulnerable, the outcaste and the polluted. This study contends and believes that the life and work of Jesus the Christ and the God he represented and manifested, is one that is polluted and one that has the capacity to pollute, and yet, liberate and transform. Therefore, The Polluted God: A Theology of the Unbecoming Messiah!
