ABSTRACT

This chapter presents each strand of the evidence in turn with a view to building up a doctrinal picture of how this group views the identity of Jesus of Nazareth. Many modern writers have developed spirit Christologies, believing them to be simpler and more intelligible than the classical Christology. The New Testament itself may be said to bear witness to economic Trinitarianism. Friedrich Schleiermacher understood Christianity as a monotheistic mode of belief. The group talk about the relationship between Jesus and God using relational, revelational and functional language. Many modern Christologies opt for a functional rather than an ontological Christology. What is clear from this group is that most people in the sample have learned monotheistic rather than Trinitarian Christianity. They have learned the common sense version of Christianity. Harvey Whitehouse observes that much popular religious thinking will err in the direction of simpler, more 'naturalised' concepts.
