To what kind of existence does Christ call us? Christian theology
has from its inception posited a powerful vision of humanity's
ultimate and eternal fulfilment through the person and work of
Jesus Christ. How precisely to understand and approach the human
perfection to which the Christian is summoned is a question that
has vexed the minds of many and diverse theologians. Orthodox
Christian theology is notable for its consistent interest in this
question, and over the last century has offered to the West a
wealth of theological insight on the matter, drawn both from the
resources of its Byzantine theological heritage as well as its
living interaction with Western theological and philosophical
currents. In this regard, the important themes of personhood,
deification, epektasis, apophaticism, and divine energies have been
elaborated with much success by Orthodox theologians; but not
without controversy. Human Perfection in Byzantine Theology
addresses the question of human perfection in Orthodox theology via
a retrieval of the sources, examining in turn the thought of
leading representatives of the Byzantine theological tradition: St
Maximus the Confessor, St Theodore the Studite, St Symeon the New
Theologian, and St Gregory Palamas. The overarching argument of
this study is that in order to present an Orthodox Christian
understanding of human perfection which remains true to its
Byzantine inheritance, supreme emphasis must be placed on the
doctrine of Christ, especially on the significance and import of
Christ's humanity. The intention of this work is thus to keep the
creative approach to human destiny in Orthodox theology firmly
moored to its theological past.
