What is Christology?
Quick answer
Christology is the doctrine of who Jesus Christ is and what he has done. It covers his deity, humanity, incarnation, sinless life, atoning death, resurrection, ascension, and present and future reign.
"Who do you say that I am?" Jesus’ question is the central question of Christology and of every life.
The historic creeds (Apostles’, Nicene, Chalcedonian) fence off the truth: Jesus is fully God and fully man, one Person in two natures.
A wrong Christology dismantles the gospel. Only a divine-human Christ can save.
