Christiology

Christiology Each of us has our own perspective on Christ which is neither personal nor time bound. Our impressions of Christ are shaped by whole historical communities. Our explorations, which are guided by tradition and community, help form the image of Jesus as Christ through our human lenses. Our “perspectives” themselves can and are influenced by other perspectives which reflect our interpretations of the nature, person and deeds of Christ. As Brennan Hill, author of Jesus The Christ: Contemporary Perspectives states, “All people are shaped and influenced by the locale in which they grew up, by the political and social forces that surround them, and by the religious milieu in which they are raised. Jesus was no exception.” The Christological perspective is at the center of all Christian worldviews, and without Christological insight, Christianity would be empty . Christianity, by its very nature does in fact accommodate a spectrum of Christological thought. Within the Body of Christ itself we find diversity . It is essential to determine the relationship of the mystery of Christ to my own contemporary self-understandings to create my individual Christological thought.
