Christology

• Christ as Light of the World — Christ as the true light that enlightens every man, sharing His name and light with Apostles, Doctors, and Preachers — His prerogatives bestowed on His servants
• Christ Prefigured in the Old Testament — The theme of Christ hidden and prefigured throughout the Old Testament -- in events, types, and prophecies -- who is the soul and purpose of all history
• Logos (The Word) — Jerome's discussion of the Greek term Logos as applied to Christ in the prologue of John's Gospel -- signifying word, reason, reckoning, and the cause through which all things subsist
• Passion of Christ — The death of Christ on the cross as the summit of history and poetry -- at once most true and most beautiful -- and its prefiguration in the Old Testament
• Wisdom of God and Worldly Wisdom — Christ as the wisdom and power of God, hidden in mystery and predestined before the ages, contrasted with the false wisdom of the world
