Abstract
The Pontifical Biblical Commission published the document Bible and Christology as a criterion and norm for modern Christology. Its importance lies primarily in insisting on the integrity of the biblical image of Christ, and as a fundamental biblical structure, it emphasizes the promise-fulfillment relationship. The question of Christ-Messiah and the demand for an integral biblical image of Christ according to the document Bible and Christology and the Christology of C. Schönborn is at the heart of this article. While the first chapter is devoted to the messianic promises in the OT, the second chapter talks about their fulfillment in Jesus of Nazareth. The third chapter of this paper focuses on the Christology of C. Schönborn and its respect for the integrity of the biblical testimony of Christ. In the conclusion of the paper, the author points out that modern biblical sciences emphasize the need for a new examination of the relationship between the promises present in the OT and the view of those promises and their fulfillment in the NT. This means that Christology also faces a new demand to rethink the relationship between the Bible and Christology.
