The article examines whether and how Spirit Christology can legitimately supplement Logos Christology within a Chalcedonian framework. It studies and evaluates some of the representative accounts for complementary Spirit Christology that assign theological significance to the agency of the Spirit in the incarnation, life and mission of Jesus without displacing the primary position of the Logos. The selected voices exhibit a range of complementary models for Spirit Christology. The study also introduces, evaluates and incorporates into the analysis more critical voices that question and critique such supplementation. The article puts forward a minimal set of integrated principles as a rubric for legitimate complementarity, such as agency, inseparable operations, the Chalcedonian person-nature distinction and the hypostatic union. The principles help safeguard the primary position of the Logos while positively incorporating the Spirit’s agency, yielding a catholic form of Spirit–Logos complementarity.
