Introduction:             There is a tremendous concentration in the Bible on one man, Jesus of Nazareth.  If there had been no such concentration, or if the texts had been uniform in the nature of their descriptions, there might perhaps have been no need for Christology, for critical enquiry into the significance of Jesus Christ for Christian faith.  But there is this concentration, and the terms in which the subject is expressed are extremely varied.  As such, debates on the person Jesus took place every now and then.  Here we will attempt to study how the man Jesus was understood and portrayed by the NT writers and then the Christological debates leading up to Council of Chalcedon.
