Seller's Description:
New. Given the momentous stature of the answers of the Fathers of Nicaea to Christ's question--''Who do you say that I am? ''--it is fitting that we, their children in faith, never disregard the path by which their answers reached maturity. This new book by a professor of patristics at St. Vladimir's Seminary is a steady aid in such reflection. With Christ's question (the origin of all Christian creeds? ) as an organizing theme, Behr describes the high points of Christological development in the first three centuries--manifested in the Christian scriptures, Ignatius of Antioch, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Hippolytus, Origen, and the synodal sources that emerged from the controversies that swirled around the figure of Paul of Samosata--never forgetting the purpose of all early Christian theology: to bring us into communion with God. A clear and careful investigation of a somewhat neglected period in patristic theology. 161 pp.
