Understanding a religion correctly is directly related to understanding the text that religion accepts as divine inspiration and how the person presented as the founder of the religion is depicted in the text. Understanding the theological notion of the religion that is the subject of the research is possible by analyzing and correctly understanding the basic text of religion. However, when it comes to the religion of Christianity, there cannot be a single reference, a single divine book or a single perception. Therefore, the place where Jesus, who is the central figure of the religion, is positioned from a cristological point of view and how its members perceive this place in religious thought is essential. In this context, in order to understand the main message of the teaching, many christological models have been put forward within the framework of historical Jesus research, which were put forward to at least examine the gospels separately, which are considered canonical, and thus to determine the place of Jesus in christology. In this study, we aim to examine the classification of anabatic and katabatic christology put forward by the modern Christian theologian John Macquarrie and, accordingly, the portrait of Jesus revealed by the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, which constitute a part of their own holy books that all Christians accept as inspired by God. In this context, by determining the christological approach of the gospels through the classification of anabatic and katabatic, to reveal how these four Gospels describe Jesus, where they placed him in Christian christology, in this context, to reveal the differences in the Christological perception and message of Christianity based on the Gospels is intended.
