  2. I. Origins1. The Essential Judaic Context: Scriptural-Liturgical Context of Christ: Genesis, the Psalms, the Prophets & Wisdom Literature as received by Judaism are the context of Christianity 2. Jesus, Christ- entered this context - He is the “new wine” in every Context. EXAMPLES: • Adam & the Fall: Christ, the new Adam Amarteia? He does not “miss the mark” (sin) • Promise to the Fathers: Christ’sKingdom • Royal Messianism: He is the King-Prophet-Priest He is the Davidic Messiah

Capacity of the Physical to be “Spirit-bearing” Restored Councils of Nicea & Constantinople: the “Creed” Wr i t ten Text Mi racles Teaching Bi r th Bapt ism Canon List Reflection & Understanding:i.e., the Paul & the 12 Apostles Beginning of 2nd Century Crucifixion & Resurrection: Axis Mundi in Time“End of Time” (Salvation History) Direction of Time

  4. II. Historical Sub-Contexts -#1. The Apostolic Age (33 AD...): Pentecost thru death of those taught by the Apostles . . . continuation of Apostolic teaching • 33 AD - Crucifixion & Resurrection. • Those Jews who accept Christ as the Resurrected Messiah are eventually ejected from the Temple • Liturgy as the re-entry & “remembrance” of the acts of God, along with use of incense, vestments, etc., are continued by the ejected Christians. • Vespers is an example of continuity / discontinuity of context & content. St. Peter (6th Cent. icon from Mt. Sinai Monastery)

  5. Paul’s Mission to the Gentiles • His letters are earliest Christian Scriptures after the Septuagint. • His letters contain more “theology” than any other part of the New Testament, • with the exception of John “the theologian’s” Gospel & Revelation • Why is it possible to “live in Christ ?” • 1. because Christ is fully human, like us, but as we were meant to be • The “intention of God & right intentions of mankind” come together in Him • 2. because of how humans are created (for oneness with God), • AND 3. because Christ is also fully God.
