Episode notes
Two Starting Points In Christology
- Christology can begin from Jesus' historical life or from his eternal divinity as John does.
- Both approaches converge on the same truth about Christ's two natures in one person.
Incarnation Is Historically Grounded
- The incarnation is a concrete historical event tied to place, time, and persons.
- Christianity depends on a real conception, death, and resurrection, not merely metaphors.
OT Types Fulfill Christ's Story
- Old Testament prophecy and typology frame Jesus as fulfillment of Israel's story.
- Types like sacrifices and Israel's exodus foreshadow Christ's work and life events.
