study of Jesus Christ in Christian theology

Quotes on Christology.

  • The Christological problem is by its nature ontological. Its aim is to elaborate the ontological structure of who [is Jesus Christ], without running into the Scylla of the how question or the Charybdis of the what question. (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)
  • Christological science suffers from a hitherto incurable evil: psychological conjecture. (William Wrede)
  • Every alteration of Christology fatally compromises the entire perspective in the "sacra doctrina". (Giacomo Biffi)
  • If it were to be demonstrated that Christology has no basis in the historical Jesus and that it would rather be a false interpretation of Jesus, then Christology itself would be liquidated. (Gerhard Ebeling)
  • It can be said: while the axis of Jesus' pre-Easter preaching is the announcement of the Kingdom of God, the center of post-Easter apostolic preaching is Christology. (Pope Benedict XVI)
  • Christology often appears reductive, minimalist, insufficient, because it does not welcome the Mystery revealed in its entirety. (Beloved Angel)
