Colossians 1:15-20 - Cosmic Christology

Colossians 1:15-20 - Cosmic Christology

  • Semi-Technical
  • Larry R. Helyer

What is the relationship between Christ and the cosmos? This essay considers the apostle Paul's intention when he relates Christ to the cosmos. Can we speak of the presence of a cosmic Christology? It begins with a reading of Colossians 1:15-20. Jesus Christ, through whom the whole universe was created, is the ruler and reconciler of creation. Creation in this instance refers to the whole universe, including spiritual beings and powers. The article gives a survey of modern approaches to cosmic Christology and gives a response.
