God Visible: Patristic Christology Reconsidered considers the early
development and reception of what is today the most widely
professed Christian conception of Christ. The development of this
doctrine admits of wide variations in expression, understanding,
and interpretation that are as striking in authors of the first
millennium as they are among modern writers. The seven early
ecumenical councils and their dogmatic formulations were crucial
facilitators in defining the shape of this study. Focusing
primarily on the declaration of the Council of Chalcedon in AD 451,
Brian E. Daley argues that previous assessments that Christ was one
Person in two natures - the Divine of the same substance as the
Father and the human of the same substance as us - can sometimes be
excessively narrow, even distorting our understanding of Christ's
person. Daley urges us to look beyond the Chalcedonian formula
alone, and to consider what some major Church Fathers - from
Irenaeus to John Damascene - say about the person of Christ.
