I am writing this to remind myself that I do actually enjoy studying, no matter how frustrating it is at times.
This morning I have been tying my brain in knots trying to understand the 5th century debates about Christ. My understanding so far is something along the lines of: He was (and is) divine and human, but how? Discuss.
It is very confusing and I keep forgetting what the words mean, but at the same time, I am spending a significant amount of time working out what I actually believe about Jesus and what that means.
My new favourite word is theotokos. The word I am most confused by currently is hypostasis.
