Christology: Truly Man and Truly God

The New Testament presents Jesus as both God and man. Such revelation of the Son of God has been the subject of endless discussions for two millennia. This course will seek to unpack major aspects related to Jesus’ divine and human nature. Topics such as the virgin birth, the scope and limits of Jesus’ knowledge, the theological connection between Jesus and sin, and the like will be presented with a careful eye toward the Scriptures.

Objectives:

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the major debates related to Jesus’s divine and human natures and 
• Give a biblical explanation of Jesus’ relationship with the Father and the Spirit
• Respond to non-biblical teachings about the person of the Son of God
• Provide biblical answers to general questions concerning Jesus’ nature
