The second century was a religious and cultural crucible for early
Christian Christology. Was Christ a man, temporarily inhabited by
the divine? Was he a spirit, only apparently cloaked in flesh? Or
was he the Logos, truly incarnate? Between varieties of adoptionism
on the one hand and brands of gnosticism on the other, the church's
understanding took shape. In this clear and concise introduction,
James Papandrea sets out five of the principal images of Christ
that dominated belief and debate in the postapostolic age. While
beliefs on the ground were likely more tangled and less defined
than we can know, Papandrea helps us see how Logos Christology was
forged as the beginning of the church's orthodox confession. This
informative and clarifying study of early Christology provides a
solid ground for students to begin to explore the early church and
its Christologies.
