_The Christ's Faith_ coheres with orthodox Christology and Reformation
soteriology, and needs to be affirmed to properly confirm the true
humanity of the incarnate Son. Without addressing the interpretation
of the Pauline phrase _pistis christou_, this study offers a
theological rationale for an exegetical possibility and enriches a
dogmatic account of the humanity of the Christ.
The coherence of the Christ's faith is shown in two ways. First, the
objection of Thomas Aquinas is refuted by demonstrating that faith is
fitting for the incarnate Son. Second, a theological ontology is
offered which affirms divine perfection and transcendence in
qualitative fashion, undergirding a Chalcedonian and Reformed
Christology. Thus, the humanity of the Christ may be construed as a
fallen human nature assumed by the person of the Word and sanctified
by the Holy Spirit.
The dogmatic location of _The Christ's Faith_ is sketched by
suggesting its (potential) function within three influential
theological systems: Thomas Aquinas, federal theology, and Karl Barth.
Furthermore, the soteriological role of the doctrine is demonstrated
by showing the theological necessity of faith for valid obedience
before God.
