Understanding the person and work of Jesus Christ from a biblical perspective.

Erickson suggests an alternative approach to these two dominant methods known as christocentric hermeneutics. This approach keeps both human subjectivity and divine revelation in balance and evaluates them through reflection upon Scripture’s narrative framework rather than isolated proof texts (ibid). Therefore, it does not seek to privilege either humanity or deity but instead acknowledges both aspects working together. He also insists that all approaches must be evaluated against Scripture first before any external sources are considered valid (ibid.). Finally, he pushes for deeper understanding through “the normativeness of God's purposes revealed in Scripture" instead of axiomatic principles or proofs (ibid.). In conclusion, Erickson’s proposed alternative approach provides an effective balanced solution between traditional views such as Christology from Below and From Above while retaining its uniqueness when compared with other forms such as Questing Historical Jesus. As such it allows us access into a comprehensive understanding of who we believe Jesus is without surrendering either Biblical authority nor allowing subjective interpretation run rampant.
