Coptic Christ: Introduction to Contemporary Coptic Christology - Part 2

Abstract

The paper continues in my previous study and summarizes the basics of Coptic Christology. The aim is showing its importance in practice.

Contemporary Coptic liturgy and spirituality in general are not omitted. The study has an ecumenical lap because it does not describe only the differences between Chalcedonian and Non-Chalcedonian Christology but the way of mutual understanding as well which can not do without Ecumenical dialogues.

Here it is pointed out how the unity in person of Jesus Christ is important for Coptic Christians throughout centuries. The paper can serve as a base both for ongoing Ecumenical dialogues and conception of Coptic Christology for all who are interested in theology.
