“But what about you? Who you say that I am?” (Lk 9.20) The Christian tradition arose in response to the question of the person of Jesus Christ, and in every generation Christians have struggled, debated, and developed answers to that question. This course will feature a selection of biblical, ancient, and medieval Christian thinkers who gave distinctive and highly influential answers to this question. The texts of the New Testament itself present Jesus Christ in various modes and forms, and early Christians struggled to articulate Christ’s humanity, divinity, incarnation, and his response to the question of evil.
