You’re listening to Branch 2 – Prophecy and Promise, Part 4: The Birth of Christian Theology. This is Episode 3: Hard Questions and Heresies
In this podcast episode, Dr John Moffatt SJ examines the ambiguities in New Testament writings and the diverse early Christian interpretations of who Jesus is, shaped by both Jewish scripture and Greek philosophy.
These differing views gave rise to both creative speculation and controversial teachings, prompting the development of early creedal statements like the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed, which emphasised Jesus' humanity, divinity, and continuity with the God of Israel.
