Graham revisits Newman’s Christology to highlight Christ’s human individuality and emotional depth, indicating its relevance today.
Donald Graham argues that St. John Henry Newman offers an original, though intermittently qualified, Christology that emphasizes the genuine humanity and affective life of the God-man. While acknowledging criticisms of Newman’s Alexandrian stress on Christ's divinity, Graham highlights Newman’s later adoption of neo-Chalcedonian principles to safeguard Christ’s human individuality. Through the lens of "sympathy" and friendship, Graham illustrates how Newman portrays Christ as a recognizable, feeling human being.
