Centered on or viewing everything in relation to Christ; a theological approach that emphasizes Christ as the central figure of Christianity and human history.
From Greek Christos (Christ) combined with the suffix -centric (from Greek kentron, 'center'). This term emerged in 20th-century theology to describe interpretive approaches that prioritize Christ's role.
Christocentric theology is actually controversial—some Christians argue all theology should be christocentric, while others say overemphasizing Christ diminishes God the Father and the Holy Spirit's importance.
