Christology

The course gives a survey of the Christian understanding of Jesus Christ as first witnessed to in the Bible and later systematized by Christian tradition. The question of methodology in studying Christology is broached, after which the course focuses on Jesus’ public ministry, with its emphasis on the proclamation and inauguration of the Kingdom of God, and culminating in the Paschal Mystery. The course ends with conciliar Christology, especially that of Chalcedon.
