Introduction
This is a collection of the topical headings from Nave's Topical Bible by Orville J. Nave, for the topic "Jesus, the Christ". Nave produced his volume while serving as a Chaplin in the United States Army, "the result of fourteen years of delightful and untiring study of the Word of God." His work, the original version of which is in the public domain, consists of 20,000+ topics and subtopics, and 100,000 references to the Scriptures.
This lists the subtopics under the topic heading "Jesus, the Christ." In the printed version produced by the MacDonald Publishing Company (ISBN 0-917006-02-X), this entry runs almost 100 pages of 2-column print. While the bulk of the entry are quotations from Scripture, it also contains a number of references with summary descriptions, some with geographic contexts: for example, under "History of", he includes "Magi visit [Bethelehem], Matt. 2:1-12".
Cross-references in parenthesis are original to Nave's. Where such cross-references occur as part of an indented list, that indicates other scriptures are given first in the original (though not repeated here), and this is a supplementary cross-reference: otherwise (e.g. "Atonement by") the entry is only a cross-reference elsewhere. Of course, some of these cross-references point to other topics outside "Jesus, the Christ". Second-level subtopics come from typographic conventions in the text: they are not distinguished in the index of sub-topics at the beginning of the entry (and in fact, are not all even included in that index). Text in square brackets below reflects my own comments. This data isn't much use all on its own: it's intended to support the discussion here [add link].
You can also see an online version (which seems somewhat abbreviated) from Bible Gateway here.
