Etymology
The word Christological begins with Christ, a word from Greek meaning 'anointed' and linked to the Hebrew word 'Messiah', and ends with -ology, which means 'study of', as in biology or theology. So, Christological means 'about the study of Christ' and is used for ideas about Jesus' nature and work.
