Understanding the person and work of Jesus Christ from a biblical perspective.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the 20th century, the study of Christology was center stage. Erickson discusses the debate over the last century in relation to the “quest of the historical Jesus,” “Christology from below,” “Christology from above,” and finally, his own “alternative approach.” Explain and evaluate this debate and its importance for understanding the person and work of Jesus Christ from a biblical perspective. Remember, this is not a personal-opinion blog. It is a serious engagement with your study of theology. Interact with Erickson’s discussion of these matters in “Contemporary Issues in Christological Method.”
You must only cite the course textbooks.

Interviewing individuals about the Bible

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In this assignment, you will interview two people: one who is actively (vs. nominally) Christian and another who is by admission not a Christian.

Before the interview, develop three reflective questions about the Bible. Try to create clear and direct questions that are also not offensive. The purpose is merely to hear the interviewees, not necessarily to convince them of your perspective. It is important to remember that they are helping you learn. They will be more likely to answer your questions authentically if you let them know you are a student doing an assignment, are in the process of learning, and would be honored by their help.
