John Scottus Eriugena, the brilliant and controversial Irishman in
the court of Charles the Bald (823-877), grandson of Charlemagne,
drew upon both the Latin and Greek patristic traditions in order to
present a bold and original Christian vision. A philosopher,
theologian, translator, poet, and mystic, he may be considered the
ideal Carolingian Renaissance man. This volume examines his
understanding of the Incarnation, the enfleshment of the Word. On
the one hand, Eriugena's Christology creatively appropriates
traditional categories in order to explain God's philanthropia in
creating, sustaining, and restoring the cosmos. On the other hand,
it also provides a guide for the believer's mystical participation
in the life of Jesus and return to divine union. This brilliant
intellectual from the so-called "Dark Ages" offers much to inspire,
and perhaps even to startle, contemporary theologians,
philosophers, and believers who ponder the mystery of the
God-made-flesh.
