Essay / Research Paper Abstract

A 5 page research essay exploring contemporary study of Christology. The focus of Christology is somewhat different depending on which theologian one reads, however one definition that seems to be accepted is that Christology and bible studies are 'two aspects of a single inquiry into divine revelation.' It also focuses on the life of Jesus and once again asks the question, 'Who was He?' This writer contends that some things in life must be accepted on faith and 'who Jesus is' is one of those things. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

While many people, like me, enjoy learning more about Jesus life on earth, His works and words, few will believe that Jesus was simply another prophet 2,000 years ago. Another aspect of some points of view in Christology has to do with the formation of Christian Churches, especially the Catholic Church. Kungs says that the student must begin with the historical life and teachings of Jesus instead of depending on the creedal interpretation of the early church which is still prevalent today. He believes that by negating what he believes is the hellenistic paradigm, dialogue with both Judaism and Islam would be facilitated which would be a good thing for the world.
