Leontius of Jerusalem - Against the Monophysites: Testimonies of the Saints and Aporiae

Informationen zum Autor Patrick T. R. Gray is Professor of Religious Studies, York University. Klappentext Leontius of Jerusalem is considered the most accomplished of the neo-Chalcedonian theologians of the sixth century. He shows himself, in his Testimonies of the Saints, to be an ecumenical theologian attempting to convince Syrian anti-Chalcedonians ('Monophysites') that their objections to Chalcedon are baseless, since all agree, beneath their antithetical formulae, on a christology of hypostatic union. They are urged to abandon their self-important yet discredited mentor, Severus, and to see that Chalcedon had no secret agenda. Gray's edition of this important early Christian treatise provides an introduction, the Greek text, and notes, together with a new translation into readable, modern English. Zusammenfassung This is a new edition and translation of the Testimonies of the Saints of Leontius of Jerusalem, a sixth-century monk and one of the most important so-called neo-Chalcedonian theologians. It is essential reading for understanding the Church's debate with the Monophysites in the time of Justinian. Inhaltsverzeichnis I. Introduction II.
