A New Course on Christology with Dr. Lane Tipton



The Person of Christ

Taught by Dr. Lane G. Tipton, Christology 1: The Person of Christ explores the person of Jesus Christ as the eternal Son of God, focusing on the theological, biblical, and historical foundations of Reformed Christology.

Organized around the threefold framework of the Logos asarkos (the pre-existent Word), Logos incarnandus (the Word foreordained to assume human nature), and Logos ensarkos (the Word incarnate), students will examine the eternal generation of the Son, the pactum salutis, the hypostatic union, the divine and human natures of Christ, and the implications of each nature for his mediatorial work.

The course also considers historical controversies, the ecumenical creeds, and confessional articulations in the Westminster Confession of Faith. Students will engage with biblical texts and classic Reformed primary sources to develop a coherent understanding of the Christological foundation of the Christian faith.

This course is available for free in Reformed Academy and on YouTube.

Christology 1: The Person of Christ is the first course in a projected four-part curriculum on the doctrine of Christ, designed especially for pre-seminary students and for the continuing education of church officers.

Dear Reader, Christ has received all authority in heaven and on earth, and he has sent his church to make disciples of all nations (Matt. 28:18–20). That commission has been on my mind this week while Ryan Noha and I attend a conference devoted to the work of sending missionaries. 01...

Counseling According to Scripture Jared Poulton joins Camden Bucey to discuss Van Til’s Counseling Movement: A Critical Analysis of Jay Adams and Biblical Counseling. They trace how Cornelius Van Til’s presuppositional apologetics supplied key theological instincts for Jay Adams and the modern biblical counseling movement, including the God-relatedness of every human problem, dependence upon divine revelation, and confidence in Scripture’s sufficiency for pastoral ministry. The conversation...

What Is Christian Unity? Mark Gilbert joins Camden Bucey to examine what Protestants and Roman Catholics mean when they speak of Christian unity. Drawing on Gilbert’s conversion from Roman Catholicism and his work equipping churches to speak with Catholics about Jesus, they contrast a unity grounded in the Spirit’s work through the word with Rome’s institutional claim to mediate grace and gather humanity into one visible communion. The conversation turns to Vatican II and Karl Rahner’s...
