How can we systematically understand the identity, nature, and mission of Jesus Christ as presented in sacred texts and theological history? Exploring Christology provides the foundational framework needed to comprehend the core of Christian theology. Through this text-based course, you will journey from the foundational definitions of Christology to a deep comprehension of Christ's dual nature, prophetic announcements, and redemptive work. You will learn to analyze key biblical passages, trace historical theological developments, and apply these concepts to modern theological discussions. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational definitions, terminology, and historical development of Christology. - Analyze biblical prophecies and Old Testament typologies that point to the person of Christ. - Examine the theological concepts of the incarnation, the dual nature of Christ, and the hypostatic union. - Explore the redemptive significance of the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. - Apply modern hermeneutical frameworks to interpret Christological passages in contemporary contexts. - Evaluate historical debates and councils that shaped orthodox Christological doctrines.
