Logos-Sarx-Christology means Word-Flesh-Christology. It is used to explain the incarnation (becoming human) of the Son of God (the Word).Geoffrey Dunn & Wendy Mayer, Christians Shaping Identity from the Roman Empire to Byzantium: Studies Inspired by Paulin Allen (Brill:Leiden, 2015), p. 416 This means that Jesus Christ became a human. Apollinaris of Laodicaea insisted on this doctrine.Christoph von Schönborn, God Sent His Son: A Contemporary Christology (Ignatius Press: San Francisco, 2004), p. 133 This doctrine derives the concept from John 1:14 “The Word became flesh” (ho logos sarx egeneto, ὁ λόγος σὰρξ ἐγένετο). It is especially significant that the chief schema of the Athanasian interpretation of Christ recurs, the schema which has become the basic expression of the whole Logos-sarx christology of all types: The Word (Logos) became human (σὰρξ) and did not come into a human body (σῶμα). Cyril had the two frameworks which were to give a first, unconsidered explanation of the relationship between God and human in Christ, the frameworks of ‘indwelling’ and ‘appropriation.’ The Word is ‘in’ the body and the body is ‘appropriated’ by the Word.The Younger Cyril and the “Logos-Sarx” Christology Karl Barth also insisted on this doctrine.
