"Christological" describes something relating to Christology, the study of Jesus Christ, his nature, and his role in salvation. It involves examining the scriptures, theological traditions, and philosophical concepts to understand Jesus's identity and significance. It's a branch of theology focused entirely on Jesus. Think of it as the academic study of what Christians believe about Jesus. It is in depth and complex.
The word "christological" comes from "Christology," which combines "Christ" (from the Greek "Christos," meaning "anointed one") and "-ology" (meaning "the study of"). The suffix "-ical" means "relating to." Thus, "christological" describes things related to the study of Christ.
If you've seen "The Prince of Egypt", there are elements of Christology found in the Old Testament and how some interpret the Bible. Moses is often seen as a figure that prefigures Christ, therefore the movie, based on Exodus, holds Christological significance, depending on your point of view. So Moses is one of the characters that can be thought of as Christological. It connects to faith and history!
