1. Basic Concepts:
gr. ousia/physis hypostasis/prosopon
lat. essentia/substantia substantia prima/subsistentia/persona
engl. natur person
2. the classic christological dogma:
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the one Person of the Divine word, which subsists eternally in the Divine nature of the Logos and temporally in the human nature he took.
The word "Jesus" means not only the empirical reality of the man from Nazaret (i.e. the natural prosopon), but also the invisible Person of the Logos (p. 322 in the Handbook of Dogmatics), which conveys the unity of two natures and individualizes the concrete human existence of Jesu.
