Abstract
“Christology” is everywhere. Whether in popular art, in media, in serious theological textbooks, or in ordinary life, one encounters an interpretation, a “take,” a “speech concerning Christ” (which is what “Christology” means in its most basic sense). Anne Rice of vampire-novel fame, for example, has authored two surprisingly respectful, well-researched, and elegantly crafted books on Jesus: Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt (2005) and Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana (2008); a third, Christ the Lord: The Kingdom of Heaven, is reportedly in progress. As for popular films, Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ (2004) remains unforgettable, while Son of God was released in 2014.
