Who did the authors think
Jesus was?
Scholars from different traditions read the same New Testament passages and reach very different conclusions. Christos helps you explore the texts, the arguments, and the evidence — so you can think for yourself.
The question at the heart of Christianity
What did the original New Testament authors believe about Jesus and his relationship to God the Father? Were they Trinitarian? Biblical Unitarian? Something else entirely?
These questions have been debated for two thousand years, and thoughtful people across every Christian tradition — Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Unitarian, and more — have arrived at different answers using the same texts.
Christos doesn't tell you what to think. Instead, it lays out the key passages, presents the strongest version of each interpretation, and equips you with the right questions to ask — so you can evaluate the arguments for yourself.
See it in action
Every passage page presents the text, the context, and the debate — side by side.
John 1:1
Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος.
Trinitarian
The Logos (Word) is fully God — the anarthrous theos is qualitative but still ascribes full deity. John identifies the Word as a distinct person within the Godhead who shares the divine essence with the Father.
Key scholars: Bauckham, Carson, Harris
Biblical Unitarian
The anarthrous theos is qualitative — "the Word was divine" — distinguishing the Logos from ton theon (the God, the Father). The Word reflects God's nature and purpose but is not identical with the one God.
Key scholars: Buzzard, Dunn, Moffatt
What questions should you be asking?
Christos doesn't just show you what different scholars think — it teaches you how to think about these texts. Every passage page includes the questions that matter.
"Who is the author writing to, and what would they have understood?"
"What did this word or title mean in its original Jewish context?"
"Is this author using this term the same way other NT authors do?"
"Am I applying the same interpretive principle consistently?"
