This book offers a fresh interpretation of the relation between
Greek thought and ancient Christian theology through an analysis of
three foundational and controversial thinkers: Origen, Eusebius of
Caesarea, and Athanasius. Rather than opposing certain cagegories
such as philosophy besides scripture, or orthodoxy besides heresy,
the author examines how language about Christ and the world
functions as a theological model. This allows the recovery of the
theological and religious significance of certain ideas such as
subordination or the obedience of Christ, which were rejected by
later orthodoxy. As an urban teacher, civic apologist, and ascetic
bishop, each of the three theologians discussed offered a
distinctive Christian response to the religious and ecclesiastical
ideas of the third and fourth centuries. Each cosmology and
Christology therefore reveals particular concerns about individual
and social identity and salvation in the developing Christian
community.
