Description: "The essays in this volume, honoring the scholarship and teaching of Brian E. Daley, S.J., Catherine F. Huisking Professor of Theology at the University of Notre Dame, explore the christological and trinitarian views of early Christian writers and theologians from the second through the seventh century. They include a study of the apocalyptic motifs and Christology in the second-century Letter to the Churches of Lyons and Vienne; of the Chalcedonian creed, viewed as a restatement of Christ's mystery and an expression of praise; and comparative analyses of the christological and trinitarian views of Athanasius, Hilary of Poiters, Gregory of Nazianzus, Eustathius of Antioch, Marcellus of Ancyra, Augustine, Origen, sixth-century theologians of the Theopaschite controversy, Cyril of Alexandria, and Maximus the Confessor. Running through the arguments of various essays is the theme, reflecting a strongly held conviction of Brian E. Daley, that patristic Christologies cannot be appreciated only in terms of conciliar debates and responses to theological and ontological problems, but must be interpreted in the largest possible context of concerns about Christian practice and discipleship, scriptural interpretation, martyrdom, salvation, the love between Christ and believers, and the ultimate mystery of the incarnation."--Jacket.
