Maximus the Confessor: Selected Writings

Maximus the Confessor: Selected Writings

George C. Berthold
4.2/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Maximus is called the Confessor because of his sufferings and labors for the true faith. During the seventh century when the monothelite heresy plagued the Church, Maximus eloquently demonstrated that Christ had both human and divine natures. Writing in the introduction to this volume Jaroslav Pelikan highlights the relevance of Maximus' writings for today: "It was the genius of Maximus Confessor that, in a measure that has been granted only to a few, he was fully bilingual, affirming by means of negation and speaking both the language of spirituality and the language of theology with equal fluency. From the looks of things within both Western and Eastern Christendom-------and beyond------that gift of being bilingual is one that people of faith will need more than ever in the years to come."
