Christology by Michael Dauphinais: 8. Modern Trends Part 1

Professor Dauphinais discusses Christology in Thomas Aquinas' Summa and Summa Contra Gentiles, and addresses such topics as one divine Person with two natures, the hypostatic union and inferences from it, the prerogatives of Christ’s human nature, issues of redemption, and the three offices of Christ. Along the way he pulls in Scripture and the writings of St. John Paul II and Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (Benedict XVI). He touches upon Christ in the Old Testament and in the Gospels, St. Paul's Hymns of Christ, and controversies and creeds throughout the history of the Church, including modern trends. Recorded in 2003.
