Christological Heresies Today

In your reading for this lesson, you came across several of the mistaken ideas about Christ that were part of the early debates in the church. Most of these either did not fully affirm Jesus’ divinity, or they underestimated his humanity. Similarly, in the world today, there are some who only think of Jesus as a spectacular human, and others who so accentuate his divinity that they do not fully appreciate his humanity.

Using the mistakes about Jesus in the early church as a guide and drawing on any additional research you might do, Write at least 300 words on a contemporary “heresy” about Jesus in the church or world today. If it resembles an ancient heresy, identify which one.
