Description
Summary:This exegetical paper is research conducted on the theme of Jesus the Christ: Truly the Theanthropos. It has been integrated in such a way that relevant texts have been opened up with sensitivity to its various dimensions which include the role in context and even points of vagueness. The article is thus a presentation of conclusions with clear and appropriate support from Biblical texts and it moves beyond mere historical background and literary features to the theological meaning of passages. The paper also considers Eastern Orthodox hermeneutical aspects such as which theological questions of contemporary relevance are raised by the passages on Jesus as a God-Man, how are they used and how do the various passages reverberate with other portions of Scripture and indeed with the Gospel itself. Indeed in view of the Bible's character as divine revelation, the exegete has approached the texts with a belief about its implied receptivity and with a sense of faith and reverence.
