Christology
Who is Jesus, and how does Scripture reveal Christ Jesus? The biblical account presents a real human Son who came into being in history through constituent union: the physical element through Mary and the spiritual element grounded in God’s own Form, designated as Word in its flesh-coming action.
Read the Son through Scripture’s own emergence language, preserving both His real humanity and the divine reality present in His spiritual constitution.
