About this video

Runtime: 11 mins

Tim Hull narrates this video on Christology with contributions from N.T. Wright, Graham Stanton and James Dunn. In understanding Jesus's identity, it's crucial to note his indirect claims, as he rarely made explicit claims about himself. For example, in Matthew 10:40, Jesus tells his disciples that welcoming or rejecting them is akin to welcoming or rejecting him, and thus God. This indicates Jesus's awareness of his divine authority. Unlike the Gospel of John, which focuses on Jesus's identity, the Synoptic Gospels emphasize his message about the Kingdom of God. Modern scholarship, particularly the "Third Quest," highlights Jesus's symbolic actions, suggesting his teachings were meant to explain these actions, revealing his profound self-understanding.
