An examination of Antiochene Christology from the viewpoint of Theodoret of Cyrus, one of its most brilliant exponents. 400pp Cloth
This study of the largest extant source for fifth-century Antiochene Christology conclusively demonstrates that its fundamental philosophical assumptions about the natures of God and humanity compelled the Antiochenes to assert that there are two subjects in the Incarnation: the Word himself and a distinct human personality. This study provides a thorough examination of Antiochene Christology from one of its richest sources, and explores a crucial theological issue for the early Church - the identity of Jesus Christ. 400pp Cloth (2007)
