Abstract
The key positions of early Christian Christology were reflected in the systematic theological doctrine of the identity of Jesus Christ of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches. However, under the conditions of the reform processes in Europe and the formation of capitalist relations, the main provisions of Christology were transformed into the theology of Protestantism, which covers a large number of independent religions. According to the article the theory of early Protestant currents in a concise form was based on two general postulates: the source of faith - the Scriptures; the salvation of man depends only on faith. This led to the domination in Protestantism, as opposed to the dogmatic theology of Catholicism and Orthodoxy, a historical-critical way of thinking, within which thinkers were cautious about tradition and experience. In this context, it is important to distinguish between denominational forms of Christology in Protestant dogmatic systems. Most Protestants share the general Christian attitudes about the triadology and Jesus Christ as a God-man, but deny the Catholic approach to understanding the mystery of Jesus Christ. The orthodox Lutheran Christology opposed the Calvinist statement "finitum non estcapax infiniti" to the opposite principle "finitum captain infiniti". This antithesis defined the development of Protestant Christology for a long time, with a particular emphasis on the reality of its two natures. Moreover, the key differences concerned the conceptual-categorical apparatus not only with the method and the state of their connection, but also the fact of the interaction of one nature with another. The opposition of two Christian systems led to the weakening of the biblical image of earthly Jesus in Protestant theology. To prevent the development of such a process, scientific approaches to balancing the state of increase and the decline of Christ, which provoked acute Christological discussions, were used. In this regard, the transformation of the Christian doctrine of Protestantism affected the changes in the principle of "communicating properties" to the concept of "communion of grace".
