I placed this thread here because there is no forum for THEOLOGY, feel free to move it where it belongs.

My question is what is Christology? I have heard it said there is a high Christology and a low christology, what does that mean?

What is Christology in general, simple terms? What is a Chrisotlogical book that can be easily read and digested by a non-academic?

Christology is the theology of the nature of Christ. i.e. two natures (human and Divine), two wills (human and Divine), in one person (Hypostatic Union), and Christ is begotten (not made) and co-eternal, and con-substantial with the Father and Holy Spirit.

Many of the earliest disputes and heresies in the Church were “Christological”, e.g. the Arians claimed Christ was a created as a lesser “god” not the same matter as the Father and Holy Spirit.

What bilop said.

And also, a “high Christologist” explores the nature of Jesus through His divinity and by His divinity, proceeds to and understanding and knowledge of His humanity. A “low Christologist,” on the other hand, seeks to understand Christ beginning with His humanity and proceeding to His divinity.
