Irenaeus on the Incarnation: "The Flesh Is Not to Be Excluded"

I really like the epigraph from St. Irenaeus (by way of Scott Cairns) Barbara Brown Taylor chooses for her book An Altar in the World (NY: HarperCollins, 2010). The book's theme is that if we hope to find God anywhere at all in the world, our goal must be to become "more fully human, trusting that there is no way to God apart from real life in the real world" (p. xvii).
