“No-one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father’s heart who has made him known” (John1:18). Ultimately, the normative source of our knowledge of God is what God reveals of Godself through Jesus the Christ. This unit introduces the study of theology, its sources and methods, through the study of Christology. It focusses on Jesus Christ, his life and ministry, his death and resurrection and the subsequent reflection of the Church on his identity.
