SANDAY'S work Christologies Ancient and Modern, published in 1909, was a singularly friendly review of the differences, and the points of contact, existing between the Christology of the ancient Church, definitively formulated at Chalcedon, and Christologies of modern times, mainly of German origin, which agreed in attempting a fresh explanation or valuation of the Person of Christ, unfettered by Greek metaphysics and Conciliar authority. When looked at in comparison, much was found to be asserted in these modern writings which was also a component part of the older dogmatic, but the ultimate difference was of such a nature that if the word 'full' could be used as an adjective appropriate to the Chalcedonic Christology, it was natural to describe as 'reduced' those Christologies which were put forward as substitutes for it. Though Dr. Sanday's own sympathies were unmistakeably on the side of the 'full' Christology he did justice to and even endorsed the two principal motives which had especially inspired the modern reaction. The first of these motives was the desire for a doctrine which should adequately and not simply formally express the truth, written large over the Synoptic picture, that, whatever else the Jesus of history was, He was man-more than that, a man, an individual. The influence of Dr. Moberly and Dr. DuBose and their conception of Christ's 'inclusive' humanity turned Dr. Sanday on to other lines at this point, but without in any way impairing his appreciation of the force impelling the German scholars to their conclusion. The second motive, which was indeed merely the first viewed negatively rather than positively, and in relation to a particular issue, was the sense of the impossibility on every ground, historical, psychological and religious, of conceiving of such a demarcation of the Divine and the human in the Person of Christ that two natures, involving two different sets of experiences, two different states of consciousness and two wills, existed side by side in one Subject of them all. Here again, Dr. Sanday avoided the conclusion to which all this criticism |
