Christology The Incarnation of Christ (Christology) is a doctrine which has been a subject of controversy at various times in church history. Sixteenth-century Anabaptist and Mennonite Christologies were generally compatible with orthodox understandings in the sense that they affirmed both the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ and salvation through his atoning death on the cross. Christology therefore remains at the center of both doctrinal and ethical, as well as soteriological and ecclesiological discussion and debate, both among Mennonites and between Mennonite and other Christians. www.gameo.org /encyclopedia/contents/C482ME.html   (3969 words)

Bible and Christology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) 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. 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. 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. www.bc.edu /bc_org/research/cjl/Documents/pbc_christology.htm   (16736 words)

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. Our Christology must indeed indicate the direction in which we seek to solve all theological problems where we are dealing with the relation of a human event or reality to the grace of God in Christ. mb-soft.com /believe/text/christol.htm   (5377 words)

Definition At the risk of being too explicit, Christology is a sub topic of Soteriology (the doctrine of salvation through the work of Christ and the Holy Spirit). Though we might expect Soteriology to be a sub topic of Christology, quite the opposite is the case since God had, from eternity, ordained the redemption of mankind. The task of Christology is to offer rational support for belief in the divinity of Jesus, for it is this which is disputed in the world today. www.drfry.com /Articles/Christology/definiti.htm   (656 words)

Christology Christology is that part of Christian theology that studies and defines who Jesus Christ is. It is generally less concerned with the minor details of his life; rather it deals with who he was, and the major events of his life (his birth, death, and resurrection). Christology may also cover questions concerning the Trinity, and what if anything Christ accomplished for the rest of humanity. The Adoptionist view is that Christ was born a man only, but became God's son by adoption when he was baptized in the Jordan. www.ebroadcast.com.au /lookup/encyclopedia/ch/Christology.html   (273 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christology Christology is that part of theology which deals with Our Lord Jesus Christ. Thus we shall give the reader a complete Christology of the New Testament and at the same time the data necessary to control the contentions of the Modernists. The Christology will not, however, be complete in the sense that it extends to all the details concerning Jesus Christ taught in the New Testament, but in the sense that it gives His essential characteristics taught in the whole of the New Testament. www.newadvent.org /cathen/14597a.htm   (4167 words)

Christology: Can a Male Savior Save Women? The Christology that became enshrined as orthodoxy at the Council of Chalcedon is the product of a very complex development. Classical Christology brings together two ideas: that of a messianic king of a new age of redemption and that of divine wisdom which grounds and discloses the cosmos and unites the human with the divine. The transformation of Christian reflection on Jesus into orthodox Christology takes place over the five centuries during which the Christian Church itself is transformed from a marginal sect within the messianic renewal movements of first-century Judaism into the new imperial religion of a Christian Roman Empire. www.fiu.edu /~religion/Christology.htm   (7265 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) An examination of the Christology of Friedrich Schleiermacher Friedrich Schleiermacher is without a doubt one of the most important figures in the field of Christology. The book starts with the "stranger from heaven" in John, traces christology back to its origin in Jesus of Nazareth, and then explains the development from the carpenter's son to the eternal Word in John. With such a theocentric model for understanding and encountering other religions, based on a non-normative Christology, Christians, Samartha concludes, will still be able to hold to their personal commitment to Christ and to their belief in his universal meaning. www.lycos.com /info/christology.html   (484 words)

Crosscurrents --A Reflection on the Overall Christology... The one overriding impression gained from the analysis of Ellen White's Christology is the great freedom in which she brings together different metaphors, thought-forms and models in presenting the person and work of Christ, sometimes even within the same passage. Another positive contribution arising from Ellen White's Christology was her willingness to hold together a presentation of Christ's active use of His divine attributes with the full functioning of His genuine humanity. Another contribution emerging from this study which is of considerable importance for the future of Adventist Christology, is Heppenstall's great emphasis on the priority of the objective and historical salvation wrought in the life, death and resurrection of Christ, over against the subjective, existential realization of such salvation in the life of the believer. www.sdanet.org /atissue/books/webster/ccac06-III.htm   (1665 words)

Mark's Christology Christology is a very important -- if not the most important -- element in the Gospel According to Mark. Perrin felt that Mark sought to "teach the Christians of his day a true Christology in place of the false Christology that he felt they were in danger of accepting." Kelber agrees in principle with his teacher but feels, as does Weeden, that the false Christology was already established in Mark's community. Here, Mark's Christology and its implications are embodied in an unforgettable scene in which Mark's narrative style of presenting theology reaches its dramatic height. www.qis.net /~daruma/mark-c.html   (1238 words)

Scholastic Lutheran Christology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Scholastic Lutheran Christology studies Jesus Christ in theology of Lutheran Orthodoxy. On the general basis of the Chalcedonian christology, and following the indications of the Scriptures as the only rule of faith, the Protestant, especially the Lutheran, scholastics, at the close of the sixteenth, and during the seventeenth, century, built some additional features, and developed new aspects of Christ's person. The propelling cause was the Lutheran doctrine of the real presence or omnipresence of Christ's body in the Lord's Supper, and the controversies growing out of it with the Zwinglians and Calvinists, and among the Lutherans themselves. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Scholastic_Lutheran_Christology   (1181 words)

What is Christology? Answer: The word "Christology" comes from two Greek words meaning "Christ / Messiah" and "word" - which combine to mean "the study of Christ." Christology is the study of the Person and work of Jesus Christ. 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. Philippians 2:5-8 is perhaps the best summary of Christology: "Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. www.gotquestions.org /Christology.html   (350 words)

Oneness Christology Webster's Dictionary defines it as the "theological interpretation of the person and work of Christ." The heart of Christology is the study of the Incarnation-the union of deity and humanity in Jesus Christ. Oneness believers are sometimes careless in their Christology, bringing ridicule on their doctrine by improper use of terminology. David Reed's dissertation on Oneness Pentecostalism concluded that its Christology is Nestorian. www.geocities.com /robert_upci/oneness_christology_bernard.htm   (6167 words)

17: Toward a Tao Christology Christology is not only an important part of systematic theology, but is also closely related to believers' life of faith. This christology is highly westernized and radically exclusive, and it has little to say to Chinese people today and critiques of it have been going on in China since early last century. This is the significance of an ethical christology. www.amitynewsservice.org /page.php?page=1183   (8667 words)

Theology Today - Vol 38, No. 2 - July 1981 - TABLETALK - Schillebeeckx's Christology I think that one of the reasons why both readers and critics have a problem with the relationship between soteriology and Christology in Schillebeeckx is because he is delaying the necessary explanation of their linkage, which he sees as pneumatological, until he treats it in his third volume. 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. 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. theologytoday.ptsem.edu /jul1981/v38-2-tabletalk1.htm   (3021 words)

One God, One Lord, One People, by N.T. Wright The incarnational Christology of Philippians 2:5-11 thus undergirds explicitly the appeal that Christians should give up their own rights for one anothers' sake. The Christology of 1 Corinthians 8:6 thus undergirds the exposition of paradoxical apostleship in 1 Corinthians 9, and prepares the way for the return to the main topic in 1 Corinthians 10. This Christology, and this love, find their ritual expression in the eucharist; and those who take this redefined community meal seriously are bound to follow it through into a life of holiness, in which attendance at idol temples is abjured. www.northpark.edu /sem/exauditu/papers/wright.html   (5603 words)

Fr. Hardon Archives - Christology From the dawn of Christianity, the apostles and first leaders of the Church were at pains to verify the origins of their faith and how radically, therefore, the Christian religion differs from the mythology of pagan Greece and Rome. If the person of Christ was a stumbling block among His own contemporaries, and the test of discipleship was acceptance or rejection of the Savior, the same condition prevailed as the Church approached the end of her catacomb days and was to take her place of freedom in the Roman Empire. In the interim the science of Christology had not substantially grown beyond what it was at the end of the patristic age. www.therealpresence.org /archives/Christology.htm   (2452 words)
