"The Many Faces of Christology"

Paper Summary:

The author presents four varying claims as to whether Christianity is truly the better, more truthful religion. The author points out that Exclusivism states Christianity is the true religion, and, therefore, no other can be true. The paper concludes that no one religion can say it is the one way among all the great truths of other religions, and for Christians, their way can be enriched and transformed by the true things about the other religions.

From the Paper:

"The concept of God that Christians accept originally came from Judaism. The "theistic God" is the God of "philosophy, theology, and piety," according to Inbody. But the concept of God is under attack, writes Inbody: He is being dismissed as "an illusion" or a "key concept in an ideology of alienation and oppression, suffering, and injustice." Meanwhile, historically, by the early second century, some Christians believed that Jesus Christ was not "a human being at all," but only "appeared to be human." In the 5th Century the question was often asked, were Christ's "divine and human natures" thoroughly "fused"? But these are the kinds of questions, Inbody writes, that are raised only when theologians "interfere with popular piety" " because most modern Christians tend to avoid "theological debates and definitions" " in particular, Christology. "
