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 and understanding,
varying emphases in 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 are
crucial way-stations in defining the shape of this study. Brian E.
Daley argues that the scope of previous enquiries, which focused on
the declaration of the Council of Chalcedon in AD 451 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, now seems
excessively narrow and distorts our understanding. Daley sets aside
the Chalcedonian formula and instead considers what some major
Church Fathers-from Irenaeus to John Damascene-say about the person
of Christ.
