This week's lecture continues a walk through the Nicene Creed by focusing on Christology, especially the lines affirming Jesus as “true God from true God” and “consubstantial with the Father” as the Church’s response to Arianism. It explains how Scripture presents Jesus’ divinity in a Jewish way (Alpha and Omega, Son of Man from Daniel, “I am,” calming the storm) while also insisting on the full reality of his humanity and warning against diminishing either nature. Abbot Ankido connects this to salvation: sin fractures relationships, and the Incarnation begins reconciliation by uniting God and man in one person. It also explores “through him all things were made” as the Logos/blueprint of creation (with reference to Pope Benedict’s Regensburg address), reads Colossians 1 and Hebrews on Christ as creator and perfect priest, and briefly discusses the Virgin Mary and the Immaculate Conception.
