Christology of the Coptic Orthodox Church has been shaped and developed by a long-standing tradition based on the biblical truth. This book aims to track the development of Coptic Christology throughout the centuries. To do so, we shall attempt to evaluate ‘the Coptic’ or the Alexandrian view towards Christology in the past and today by discussing the theology of the School of Alexandria, various historical accounts, and finally modern theology and practices. The Coptic Church believes that Christ’s humanity has never been alone; there was no time lapse in realizing this unity. Our liturgies, prayers and church hymns have not been changed since the fourth and fifth centuries, which affirms our traditional Christology, revealing that from the very moment of the descent of the Logos in the Virgin’s womb. There is no moment in which His humanity existed before His Incarnation. Fr. Tadros Y. Malaty
