This course promotes the personal critical appropriation of the Scriptural and dogmatic tradition in Christology, whether in preparation for the M.Div.comprehensive exam, or as a solid foundation in Christology for other students. It helps the student preparing for ministry to bring a systematic un- derstanding of the person and work of Jesus the Christ to bear on pastoral issues and exposes the student to the spiritual dimension of Christological teaching. Reading will be assigned weekly as obligatory preparation for class discussion and lectures. In addition to readings in the tradition (Scripture, creeds, patristic texts, medieval theology) and in contem- porary theological thought, appropriate critical commentary (exegetical studies, historical analyses, etc.) will be assigned where helpful.
