Christology from above

Christology from above is a theological approach that emphasizes the divine nature of Jesus Christ, focusing on his pre-existence as the Son of God before his earthly life. This perspective highlights how Jesus embodies God's essence and authority, exploring how his divine nature informs his teachings and actions. It contrasts with Christology from below, which starts with Jesus' humanity and experiences. By examining Jesus as both fully divine and fully human, Christology from above seeks to understand the relationship between God and humanity through Christ's role in salvation and revelation.
