DIVINE IDENTITY THEOLOGY
Recovering the Biblical Pattern of God, Humanity, and Restoration
Beginning with Scripture’s own account of human existence, Christ Rooted traces the interconnected questions of who God is, what humanity is, who Christ is, what went wrong, and how humanity is restored to Life in God through Christ.
Christ Rooted is an independent theological research and writing project developing Divine Identity Theology, a Scripture-first framework rooted in biblical anthropology. At its heart is Aspectual Monotheism, the doctrine of God that provides the framework’s account of divine identity, distinction, and unity.

THE FRAMEWORK
Divine Identity Theology
Divine Identity Theology is the comprehensive theological framework developed through Christ Rooted. It begins with Scripture’s own account of human emergence and follows those categories through the biblical doctrines of God, Christ, Spirit, sin, salvation, resurrection, and restoration.
The framework is not a collection of independent doctrinal positions. Its claims are connected by a common biblical anthropology and a single account of divine identity, allowing the larger biblical story to be read as one coherent theological whole.

AT THE HEART OF THE FRAMEWORK
Aspectual Monotheism
Aspectual Monotheism is the doctrine of God at the heart of Divine Identity Theology. It supplies the categories by which Scripture can speak of the one God with real distinction without division. God is one Spirit-being who is irreducibly Soul, Form, and Spirit, without multiplying divine persons or collapsing those distinctions into temporary roles.
THEOLOGICAL DISCIPLINES
One Framework Across the Major Fields of Theology
Divine Identity Theology unfolds across the major fields of biblical and systematic theology. Each discipline examines a distinct question while remaining integrated within the same biblical anthropology and account of divine identity.
Anthropology
What is a human being?
Theology
Who is God?
Christology
Who is Christ, and how is God revealed in Jesus?
ABOUT CHRIST ROOTED
