Lecture

Chapter 19 - Christology Today - On Lord Jesus Christ

Lecture notes focusing on the Chalcedonian definition of Christ, specifically the doctrine of the Hypostatic Union. The author argues against the common misinterpretation of the doctrine as a mere 'two natures' theory, asserting instead that it is the union of two natures in one Person (hypostasis). The text explores the logic of the 'One-in-two' structure, referencing the Philippians 2:6-11 hymn (Carmen Christi) to illustrate a movement from God's descent to humanity to the exaltation of the human representative. The lecture also addresses the distinction between 'high' and 'low' Christology, the concept of paradox in Christology, and includes devotional hymns centered on the person of Jesus Christ.
