This resource explores The Person of Jesus Christ in line with the OCR A Level Religious Studies Developments in Christian Thought specification. It examines theological debates about the nature and identity of Jesus, focusing on Christology and the development of Christian doctrine.

The resource outlines key Christological titles, including Son of God, Son of Man, Messiah, and Logos, and explains their theological significance. It examines the doctrine of the Incarnation, exploring how Jesus is understood as fully divine and fully human, and considers the importance of the Chalcedonian Definition in shaping orthodox Christian belief.

The resource also explores different models of atonement, including substitutionary, moral influence, and Christus Victor, and evaluates how these interpretations shape understanding of Jesus’ mission and significance. Attention is given to modern Christological developments and the ways in which contemporary theologians reinterpret Jesus’ identity in light of historical criticism and social context.

Students are encouraged to evaluate whether traditional Christological claims remain coherent and relevant in modern theology.

Exam guidance is included at the end of the resource, supporting students in developing strong AO1 knowledge and AO2 evaluation for OCR theology essays.
