This is the question of Christology - the part of Theology that deals with the nature and character of Jesus Christ. You will meet the early Christian theologians as well as heretical thinkers who debated the question of how Jesus of Nazareth - who was born as a human being in time and history - could also be the God of Israel who created the universe and existed eternally before time and history even began! 📖 To go deeper into the video, download our free deep-dive dossier written by our researcher.
