Reference no: EM133307408

Question 1: In chapter eight, "New Testament Christologies," Rausch asserts that while "Christology begins with the Easter experience of the disciples," the fact is that "they could only express their experience in the language and symbols of their inherited tradition." Briefly summarize what he calls the four christological "types" ((Easter christologies, 127-130; Son of God christologies, 131-137; Wisdom christologies, 137-142; and Preexistence christologies, 142-145) and where they appear in the New Testament.

Question 2: In chapter 9 Rausch asserts, "As Christianity began to spread beyond its original home in Judaism into the Hellenistic world of the Roman Empire, it was confronted by the challenge of finding a way to express its faith in the thought categories of the Greco-roman world." Briefly summarize what Rausch describes as the "challenge" to Christianity presented by Greek philosophy (149-151), Gnosticism (151-152), and docetism (152), and explain how these were addressed at Nicea (155-156) and Chalcedon (161-162).
