In his groundbreaking book, An Experiment In Christology, Edward Schillebeeckx offers a fresh and innovative approach to understanding the nature of Christ. Schillebeeckx argues that the traditional Christological categories of "nature" and "person" are inadequate to capture the full complexity of Christ's identity. Instead, he proposes a new model of Christology that is based on the concept of "event." Schillebeeckx argues that Christ is not a static being, but rather an event that is constantly unfolding in history. This event is the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ, and it is this event that is the source of Christ's unique identity.
