In this “Theology Unpacked” episode, Dr John Moffatt SJ revisits how the Gospels and Paul’s letters, shaped by Jewish scripture and tradition, formed early Christian understandings of Jesus as both divine and human, laying the groundwork for later doctrines of the Trinity and Christ’s dual nature.
He highlights the range of early interpretations—from those that denied Jesus’ divinity to Gnostic views that rejected his humanity—and notes that debates about Christ’s nature and meaning continue to shape Christian theology today.
