The coexistence of divinity and humanity in Jesus of Nazareth has long been a point of contention among theologians.

Ninian Smart’s Seven Dimensions aims to capture the breadth of any religious or worldview system. However, when applied to Christianity, the model captures the breadth of Christian religious life but struggles with the depth and determinative core of Christianity, downplaying what makes Christianity ‘true’ – its historical claim and significance.
