Usage notes

[edit]
  • LikeGod,Mom,etc.,Christ is usually used directly in the manner of a name. However, it is sometimes used with a definite article—the Christ—in archaic or learned settings to emphasize its nature as a title equivalent tothe Anointed One. When used as a title for Jesus, it is almost always applied as a postpositive:Jesus Christ.
