A Reasonable Incarnation
No. 303
And it's very consonant to reason to suppose that in such a revelation, God should reveal many doctrines that are above human reason: for it would be strange if God should know nothing about himself but what man is capable of knowing by his own natural reason; and therefore if a revelation of God has some doctrines in it that are above the discovery of reason, it would be the more agreeable to reason for that: and therefore the Christian religion may the more reasonably be received and believed for having some such doctrines, such as the doctrines of the Trinity and incarnation and satisfaction of Christ. And indeed, the incarnation and satisfaction of Christ are exceeding reasonable doctrines. A wonderful wisdom and congruity and rationalness appears in them, as might be particularly shown if the time would allow. - WJE 14:232–33
