Christology
The identity, preexistence, incarnation, messianic vocation, divine status, and saving work of Jesus within Israel’s Scriptures and Jewish conceptual world.
Who Is Jesus within the Biblical Story?
Rabbit Room Christology begins with the Hebrew Bible’s patterns of divine presence and agency: the Angel of YHWH, the Name, Wisdom, Word, Glory, enthroned Son of Man, and the complex unity of Israel’s God. These trajectories provide the conceptual grammar for the New Testament’s claims about Jesus.
Rather than treating Christology as a late departure from Jewish monotheism, these studies examine how the apostles identify Jesus within the unique divine identity while preserving the distinction between Father and Son. Incarnation and redemption are read within the canonical Promise-Plan.
