"The term preferred by Soloviev was bogochelovecheskii, "divine-human," from bogochelovechestvo, Godmanhood, divine humanity, humanity of God. For all its difficulties in translation, this term is the most appropriate because it refers to the source of Soloviev's intellectual confidence-the incarnation. Soloviev preached a transcendent both/and. As he saw it,
people do not have to choose between Orthodoxy and modernity, religion and science, tradition and change, Christian faith and religious universalism, gospel and law, not even between God and the world. Why are these false choices? How is such wholeness of life available to us? Because "the Word became flesh and lived among us, full of grace and truth, and we have seen his glory" (John 1:14)."
