Theological Studies

Students who have completed THEO920 Christology should NOT enrol in THEO820.

Unit overview and content

This unit provides an opportunity for an in-depth encounter with Christ: the eternal Word of God made flesh in the person of Jesus of Nazareth; and the risen, universal Christ who promised to be with us always. The unit explores theological understandings of Jesus, his strategy, words, deeds, and death including many of the debates surrounding the reasons for his crucifixion and the Church’s Christological formulations.  It also explores his resurrection and several areas of contemporary study in the field of Christology.
