In Exegesis of the Human Heart Andrew J. Summerson explores how Maximus the Confessor uses biblical interpretation to develop an account of human passibility, from fallen human passions to perfected human emotions among the divinized. This book features Maximus’s role as a creative interpreter of tradition. Maximus inherits Christian thinking on emotion, which revises Stoic and Platonic thought according to biblical categories. Through a close reading of Quaestiones ad Thalassium and a wide selection of Maximus’s works, Andrew J. Summerson shows that Maximus understands human emotion in an exegetical milieu and that Maximus places human emotion at the heart of his soteriology. Christ redeems passibility so the divinized can enjoy perfected emotional activity in the ever-moving repose of eternal life.

This volume explores the patristic treatment of biblical characters and character. Patristic authors interpret the Bible and use it in the development of their theology and in debates on theological, Christological and ecclesiological issues. The individual contributions deal with the view of the Church Fathers on the person of Moses, with Maximus Confessor's depiction of King Hezekiah, with the interpretation of the texts on the daughters of Zelophehad, with the theological interpretation of the story of Elijah on Mount Horeb, with the spiritual interpretation of the Psalms in Jerome's letters, the significance of the Psalms for the Christological argumentation in Cassiodorus, the interpretation of the Book of Job in various commentaries, the Christological interpretation of the Twelve Prophets and the understanding of the nation angels in John Chrysostom. The volume concludes with a summarising response.

Many studies of spiritual development exist under the heading of ?Christian Perfection.? However, John Gavin revisits such topics as asceticism, prayer, sacraments, virtues, and spiritual combat through scriptural and patristic texts that present the Christian life as one of growth from spiritual infancy to a particular fulfillment or end (telos): divinized humanity as formed and revealed in Jesus Christ. Thus, though Christian maturity does incorporate such things as physical and cognitive development, its true distinction lies in its gifted, supernatural end that does not exclude human freedom. Part One establishes the pillars of Christian maturity ? form and finality; virtue and character; vocation and mission ? and explores the opposition to maturation in the form of demonic infantilism. Part Two examines the means of maturity given to us in the life of the Church: the Scriptures, the Mysteries (Sacraments), and asceticism. Finally, Part Three reviews four figures of Christian adulthood: the Witness, the Teacher, the Servant, and the Fool. A concluding chapter applies the insights from the previous chapters to our modern world to see in what ways our times need to ?grow up.? Growing into God includes a variety of early Christian voices: Irenaeus of Lyons, Origen of Alexandria, Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory of Nyssa, Basil of Caeserea, Augustine of Hippo, Ambrose of Milan, John Cassian, Dionysius the Areopagite, Mark the Monk, John Moschos, Maximus the Confessor, Symeon the Holy Fool, and others. Their collective insights, all the fruits of great learning and the contemplation of God?s Word, describe a wondrous figure: the mature saint transformed by union with the Father, Son, and Spirit.

This book examines the religious character of Nikos Kazantzakis’ literary work. The author of famous novels like Zorba the Greek, Christ Recrucified, Captain Michalis and The Last Temptation, as well as the programmatic essay Asceticism: The Saviours of God and the monumental Odyssey, wrestled with the numinous nearly lifelong. Though raised in and saturated with the liturgical and spiritual tradition of the Orthodox Church, he soon dissociated himself from the ecclesiastical establishment of his youth and searched for a new form of religion. A passionate ‘hunter’, he sought out the absolute truth and definitive redemption. In his quest for ‘God’, his steady and farthest goal was the incessant search for freedom – even freedom to such an extent as freedom from the liberator! Yet the Greek Orthodox inheritance has influenced his work to a quite considerable extent. He held on to various Christian elements which appealed to him, although he filled them in with altered contents. This especially concerns the emphasis on asceticism, the Cretan religious popular culture, the language of Scripture, various liturgical rituals as well as Byzantine hymnody and iconography.

"Freiheit" ist nicht nur ein zentraler Begriff neuzeitlicher Philosophie und Theologie, sondern auch ein Thema, das untergründig die altkirchliche Christologie bewegt und in ihr – gegen die Gefahr einer ungeschichtlichen "Hellenisierung" des christlichen Glaubens – die Konkretheit des biblischen Gottesbildes wachgehalten hat. Nirgendwo wird dies deutlicher als bei dem byzantinischen Mönch und Gelehrten Maximus Confessor (580-662), der seinen Einsatz für die menschliche Willensfreiheit Jesu in tiefschürfenden Deutungen des Getsemani-Gebets schließlich mit dem Leben bezahlt hat. Die vorliegende Arbeit bietet eine eingehende dogmengeschichtliche Untersuchung zur Frage nach der echt menschlichen Freiheit Jesu in der Christologie zwischen Chalcedon (451) und dem Dritten Konzil von Konstantinopel (681), klärt dabei die epochale Bedeutung des Maximus und bringt sein Denken korrigierend und weiterführend ins Gespräch mit wichtigen Ansätzen heutiger Theologie.

This study contextualizes the achievement of a strategically crucial figure in Byzantium's turbulent seventh century, the monk and theologian Maximus the Confessor (580-662). Building on newer biographical research and a growing international body of scholarship, as well as on fresh examination of his diverse literary corpus, Paul Blowers develops a profile integrating the two principal initiatives of Maximus's career: first, his reinterpretation of the christocentric economy of creation and salvation as a framework for expounding the spiritual and ascetical life of monastic and non-monastic Christians; and second, his intensifying public involvement in the last phase of the ancient christological debates, the monothelete controversy, wherein Maximus helped lead an East-West coalition against Byzantine imperial attempts doctrinally to limit Jesus Christ to a single (divine) activity and will devoid of properly human volition. Blowers identifies what he terms Maximus's "cosmo-politeian" worldview, a contemplative and ascetical vision of the participation of all created beings in the novel politeia, or reordered existence, inaugurated by Christ's "new theandric energy". Maximus ultimately insinuated his teaching on the christoformity and cruciformity of the human vocation with his rigorous explication of the precise constitution of Christ's own composite person. In outlining this cosmo-politeian theory, Blowers additionally sets forth a "theo-dramatic" reading of Maximus, inspired by Hans Urs von Balthasar, which depicts the motion of creation and history according to the christocentric "plot" or interplay of divine and creaturely freedoms. Blowers also amplifies how Maximus's cumulative achievement challenged imperial ideology in the seventh century—the repercussions of which cost him his life-and how it generated multiple recontextualizations in the later history of theology.

The book offers a new Trinitarian and Christological reading of Christ’s cry of dereliction that is grounded in historic orthodoxy. Arguing for an interpretation of the cry in relation to the communication of idioms in Christology and the modal distinction between person and nature in Trinitarian theology, the book draws from a broad range of Patristic, Scholastic and Reformed sources. This work is a must for scholars of Christian theology.
