Synopsis of Lecture:

How can we understand the Christian claim about the humanity and the divinity of Christ? And how can we explain the enormous cultural and social power generated by Christianity? It shows that a differentiated approach to the life, person and work of Jesus Christ has to be gained. In addition, the radiation of this life and work in the power of his Spirit has to be taken into account. This leads to a realistic Spirit-Christology.
