Models and Views in Christological Discussions

Jordan talks with Richard Cross about Christology and metaphysics in the Seventeenth century. They cover a wide range of topics like: Generally speaking, what are union and communion theories about the hypostatic union? What are the shared beliefs between these two views? Who are some of the important figures that held to these respectively? What is the nature of accidents and dependence relations and how they are relevant for union and communion theories? What is the order of subsistence and existence for each model? What Reformed theologians opt for a communion vs a union account of the hypostatic union? What are their reasonings? Are union theories averse to compositional Christological accounts? If so, why? Does composition imply potentiality? And more!
