Episode notes
Deification of Christ's Humanity
- Lutheran Christology centers on the deification of Christ's human nature, not just omnipresence.
- This deification is key to understanding how we share in divine gifts through Christ.
Mystical Union with God
- Our mystical union with God is rooted in Christ's hypostatic union and the glorification of his humanity.
- We access divine gifts through Christ's human nature, not in the same way, but derivatively.
Soteriological Implications of Christology
- Different Christologies impact soteriology, especially the doctrine of mystical union.
- Lutherans believe we participate in God's essence, not just created gifts, opposing the Roman Catholic view.
