A scholar or theologian who specializes in the study of Christ's life, character, teachings, and theological significance.
From Greek Christos (Christ) combined with -logy (logos, 'word' or 'study') and -ist (one who practices or specializes in). This academic term emerged as Christian theology became a formal discipline.
Christologists face a fascinating problem: they're trying to study a historical person (Jesus of Nazareth) whose biographical details are limited and whose theological significance is debated by billions of believers worldwide.
