🕊️ Welcome to One Person, Two Natures of Christ (IHUM)

This study explores the mystery of the Incarnation through the Integrated Hypostatic Union Model (IHUM), a theological framework that presents Christ as fully God and fully man—united in one conscious person without confusion or division.
​

The 6-week Bible study is a great place to begin, but don’t stop there. The accompanying academic and popular-level papers go deeper, offering biblical, theological, and philosophical support for this model.

If you're ready to move beyond the basics, take time to read the papers—they will sharpen your understanding and enrich your teaching.
