Talk:Christ (title)/FAQ


Q 1: Why is this article separate from the article on Jesus?

A: This article deals with the Christian theological perspective of the Messiah and the role of Jesus as the divine Christ. Jesus is considered a prophet in Islam and is regarded as a messenger of God in the Bahá'í Faith, but these religions do not hold him to be the divine Christ (Messiah) as in Christianity. These are, therefore, separate topics.

Q 2: Why is this article not called "Jesus Christ", and why does that term not redirect here?

A: The term "Jesus Christ" usually refers to Jesus, as this article explains, and hence it redirects there.

Q 3: Does the lede image Christ Pantocrator from Saint Catherine's Monastery fit this article, and not favor some denomination over others?

A: That issue was addressed in this talk page discussion. The image dates to the 6th century and was painted 500 years before the major schism between the Eastern and Western churches. As that discussion indicated, it is quite neutral, a notable artistic work that is "quickly identifiable" with the subject of this article.
