The study of Jesus of Nazareth’s personality traits, in addition to the doctrines and works he wrought as based on the New Testament, is termed Christology. The word is derived from two Greek words. The first, christos, means "messiah," but is more commonly transliterated as "Christ." The second word is logos, which means "the study of a subject," as well as "word" in other contexts. This should not be confused with Logos Christology, which is the relationship of Jesus in a divine trinity.
