The challenge is partly re-connecting our christology (what we say about Jesus and the Trinity) with our anthropology (our sense of what belongs properly to human beings); and rightly understood, I think that the belief in Jesus 'uniqueness and finality allows us to do this. ❋ Unknown (2010)

At least in some places New Testament christology goes beyond agency model. ❋ James F. McGrath (2010)

One of the parallels that strikes me is the lack of humility or at least self-awareness in the attempts to disassemble a large body of academic literature, rather than publishing - say - an article on Paul's conception of the archons as sublunar demons or docetic christology in GThom. ❋ James F. McGrath (2010)

My model for the developement of christology is following starting from Paul: ❋ James F. McGrath (2010)

I can't take a position between your ideas and April's on the christology of John - I see merit on both sides, and don't have enough background to make an informed choice on my own. ❋ James F. McGrath (2009)

Your understanding of New Testament christology vs plain teaching of the New Testament, o-ho, something to think about that! ❋ James F. McGrath (2009)

What if that bit about James being the Lord's brother . . . phrased in that way: ‘αδελφον του κυριου’ . . . is actually evidence of the extremely high christology in evidence in the epistle (and throughout the pauline corpus in general), exceeding even that of the Gospel of Mark (presumably composed after 70), that would necessitate placing their origin later in time? ❋ James F.
