| | Bible and Christology |
 | | This Christology, if it has to take into account the limits of the humanity [L has humanitatis, which is missing in F] of "Jesus of Nazareth," has to acknowledge in him at the same time "the Christ of faith," fully revealed by his resurrection in the light of the Holy Spirit. | | | Still other Christologies are found in the Epistle to the Hebrews, in 1 Peter, in the Book of Revelation, in the Letters of James and Jude, and in 2 Peter, although they do not have the same amount of development in such writings. | | | Various Christologies in the New Testament, as well as the definitions of councils--in which are repeated, in an "auxiliary language," things already contained in Scripture have indicated the route along which theological [L has theologica, which F omits] speculation can proceed, without exactly demasking the mystery itself. |

| | Roland Boer: "Terry Eagleton and the Vicissitudes of Christology" |
| | The very high christology of Hebrews (not one that I can see Eagleton being enthused over in its full regalia) comes in use for a supersessionist moment, especially Hebrews 9:1210 where Christ is both sacrificed and sacrificer, victim and high priest, doing one last time what had gone on unendingly in the Hebrew Bible. | | | To begin with, christology is the "pretense on the part of the finite" (Adorno 1999: 177), the elevation of the tangible, fleshly human Christ to divine status. | | | I have used the two interchangeably thus far, but Eagleton makes it clear at the beginning of his discussion that he is interested in the transformation of sacrifice, as a mode of appeasing the capricious gods and bargaining for their favour, into self-sacrifice in the person of Jesus Christ. |

| | Christology |
| | Hence a three stage Christology emerges: the preexistent wisdom or Logos (Word), who was the agent of creation and of general revelation and also of the special revelation of Israel, becomes incarnate in the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth, and then in the resurrection and exaltation returns to heaven (Php. | | | In Lutheran Christology there was a further important development, the attributes of the humanity of Jesus being regarded as limiting those of his deity, according to the "kenotic" theory of Thomasius. | | | This means that our Christology is decisive in determining our doctrine of the church and of the work of sacraments as used in the church. |

| | Christology is defined simply as theology related to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as the second person of the Trinity. | | | In refuting false doctrines with the truth about Jesus Christ, they formed the basis for the Christology of the early Church. | | | His work, On the Incarnation was essentially the first systematic attempt at a Christology -- a set of teachings on the birth, life, death, resurrection, heavenly reign and second coming of Jesus Christ. |

| | Mark's Christology |
| | Christology is a very important -- if not the most important -- element in the Gospel According to Mark. | | | Mark himself indicates this in the way he opens his Gospel: "Here begins the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." Jesus the Christ is himself the gospel (good news), and by reading Mark's book we may encounter him and learn, with the disciples, the mystery of who he is. | | | Although the climax of Mark's Gospel is often considered to be Peter's confession, the Gospel's high point for me is the confession of the Roman centurion at the foot of the cross. |

| | José M. de Mesa - Making Salvation Concrete and Jesus Real Trends in Asian Christology |
| | Against this background of the widespread dissemination of classical Christology in Asia and the felt lack of its impact, the Asian churches since the late 1960s have increasingly become aware of the need to root the importance and relevance of Jesus in their respective situations and cultures, which were also religious. | | | A Christology articulated, however inchoately and imperfectly by a community is, to me, more meaningful to that community than anything done, as it were, for them by theologians or official church bodies. | | | In short, it is the process of their identification of Jesus as "the Christ", a cultural title given to him by the disciples after the resurrection in order to articulate his significance to them. |

| | HIGHLIGHTS IN THE DEBATE OVER THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA'S CHRISTOLOGY 2 |
| | The opinion generally prevails that Theodore's Christology is based on an inductive historico-biblical method which begins by recognizing the full humanity of Christ and tries from this point to solve the problem of the unity of subject in Christ. | | | However, the bishop of Hippo had a legalistic and authoritarian understanding of the Church's dogmas, accepting them at first on faith, and then trying hard the rest of his life to understand them conceptually by contemplation. | | | The destruction of Israel's enemies would not be the work of God's glory, but rather the work of Israel who would thereupon be rewarded with the glory of God for such meritorious efforts. |

| | Since theology is the knowledge of God, and Christology is the knowledge of Christ, is God to be identified only with Christ and not the Father and the Holy Spirit?" Weinrich's response was that Scaer's statement was not erroneous, but my objection to it is erroneous. | | | Rather than this confusing theology and poor teaching approach, CTS professors should be proclaiming a balanced Trinitarian faith and a Biblical theology which centers on Christ as Savior, but does not exclude the Father and the Holy Spirit as part of Christian theology. | | | What we obviously need is LCMS theologians giving us fresh insights into a balanced Trinitarian faith with a Biblical Christology, not human philosophy and reason. |

| | Christology is the theological study of the human and divine natures and roles of Jesus Christ. | | | Although the term "Christology" is not frequently used by Latter-day Saints, the doctrine of the Church can be described in the following manner: Jesus Christ descended from his high pre-existent station as a God when he came to earth to die for mankind's sins (see Jesus Christ: First Born in the Spirit; | | | Various Christologies competed in the early Christian church. |

| | Christology |
| | Christology is the study of the relationship between the deity and humanity of Christ, as they exist in one person. | | | My response to this objection is that God did not explain the manner in which the deity and humanity existed in Jesus Christ either, yet we still seek to understand this aspect of the incarnation. | | | We can know by faith the Scriptural declarations concerning the hypostatic union (a term referring to the way in which the deity and humanity existed in Jesus) to be true, but we will never fully understand how it is possible, and the mechanical details of how it occurred. |

The heart of Christology is the study of the Incarnation-the union of deity and humanity in Jesus Christ. | | | Father and Son are co-equal persons in the Godhead, it is just as heretical to speak of the suffering and death of God the Son. | | | Oneness believers are sometimes careless in their Christology, bringing ridicule on their doctrine by improper use of terminology. |

| | In developing the resurrection moment in his genetic evolution of Christology, Schillebeeckx is true to the importance which he attaches to experience and is anxious to keep together the disciples' experience of Jesus' presence in their midst and what happened to Jesus himself-his rising from the dead. | | | The earliest form of this kerygma is found in the "Q tradition." The passage from a parousia kerygma to a resurrection Christology is a movement from concentration on the kingdom to a concentration on the person of Jesus. | | | That option individualized Christology considerably by its concern about the person and nature of Jesus and its inability to integrate its concern about the person of Jesus with the eschatological, historical, soteriological, and political implications of the message Jesus presented. |

Christology is the study of the Person and work of Jesus Christ. | | | Without a proper understand of who Jesus Christ is and what He accomplished, all other areas of theology will be errant as well. | | | Christology teaches us that Jesus had to be man so that He could die - and had to be God so that His death would pay for our sins. |
