Advanced Christology – The Person and Work of Christ in Lutheran Theology
Prerequisite: None
Credit Hours: 3
This course undertakes a rigorous and advanced study of Christology, focusing on its systematic development and articulation within Lutheran theology. Emphasis is placed on the two natures in Christ and His threefold work (prophet, priest, and king), particularly in relation to salvation (atonement and justification), the sacraments, and their direct implications for pastoral ministry. Students will engage deeply with key Lutheran confessional statements, seminal theologians, and contemporary discussions in Christology, aiming to equip pastors with a profound understanding for preaching, teaching, and providing Christ-centered care.
