Combining historical and theological analysis, Christopher Beeley presents a detailed and far-reaching account of how key theologians and church councils understood the most central element of their faith, the identity and significance of Jesus Christ.Focusing particularly on the question of how Christ can be both human and divine and reassessing both officially orthodox and heretical figures, Beeley traces how an authoritative theological tradition was constructed. His book holds major implications for contemporary theology, church history, and ecumenical discussions, and it is bound to revolutionize the way in which patristic tradition is understood.Fathers of the churchTheology, DoctrinalHistoryEarly church, ca. 30-600Church historyPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600Electronic books.Fathers of the church.Theology, DoctrinalHistoryChurch history273/.1Beeley Christopher A1047930MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464546703321The unity of Christ2480796UNINA
