Christology

/ krɪˈstɒlədʒɪ; ˌkrɪstəˈlɒdʒɪkəl; kraɪ- /

the branch of theology concerned with the person, attributes, and deeds of Christ

First recorded in 1665–75; Christo- + -logy

For the construction of a durable system of Christology, still further elaboration was necessary.

But though Paul's Christology remained in this primitive stage, it contained the germs of a more advanced theory.

It was impossible that such views as these should not soon be taken up and applied to the fluctuating Christology of the time.

These as well as the corresponding language of the Church were the greatest difficulties in the way of the Logos Christology.

On the most vital point, the introduction of the philosophical Christology into the Church's rule of faith, see Chapter 7.
