Christology, as its name suggests, is the Person of Christ and his redemptive work. It is a study in which reason, enlightened by faith, tries to deepen the knowledge of the mystery and the work of Christ. Both issues are usually discussed together. Indeed, in Christ, being and mission are inseparable: He became man for our salvation and, in turn, this salvation depends on his being God-man. By studying the figure of Christ, we study the centre of the preaching of the Church and, therefore, studied the heart of catechesis. Christ is the central message of the New Testament and the core of the apostolic preaching is, in fact, a throbbing testimony about Jesus of Nazareth, Lord and Christ. As stated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, “The transmission of the Christian faith consists primarily in proclaiming Jesus Christ to lead others to faith in Him” (n. 425). This is the universal belief of the Church (Grudem, 2006).

Knowing about Christ is thus, a fundamental task of anyone who wants to spread the Christian faith. This requires an effort that covers many facets of human existence that continues throughout life. Only those who closely follow Christ can have a saving knowledge of Him that involves the transmission of which lead to communion with Him by the power of the Spirit.

After salvation, it is mandatory for read Doctrine of Bible (Grudem, 2006).
