Union, Hypostatical, is a theological term devised by the old divines to express the union of the human nature of Christ with the divine in one person. It must be observed that this union is not consubstantial, as of the three persons in one Godhead; nor physical, as soul and body united in one person; nor mystical, as between Christ and believers; but so that the manhood subsists in the second person, yet without making confusion, both forming but one person. SEE ARIANISM; SEE HYPOSTATICAL UNION; SEE PERSON OF CHRIST; SEE SABELLIANS.
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later.
