Who is Jesus Christ? This is the central question of Christian theology. The New Testament presents Jesus as teacher, miracle worker, prophet, and saviour — but also as the eternal Son of God who became human. How these two natures (divine and human) relate to each other has been debated for two thousand years. This lesson examines key Christological positions, the Council of Chalcedon, and the major theories of the atonement.
Key Definition: Christology is the branch of theology concerned with the person and nature of Jesus Christ. Christology from above begins with Jesus' divinity and asks how God became human. Christology from below begins with the historical, human Jesus and asks how he came to be recognised as divine.
