In this class, we have a creed that will guide us through the early development of Christology. It is not a comprehensive statement, but it focuses on the first 50 years. We will spend more time on certain aspects, especially numbers three to six. To begin, the creed states that Jesus Christ is the man. So we have this sort of creed that we're going to use to walk through the first part of this class. This is not meant to be a systematic, full-orbed statement on Christology, but rather intended to cover the chronological development of the doctrine for the first half-century or so. We will spend more time on some than others, particularly the middle four, numbers three through six. Let's start off with Jesus Christ is the man.
