Maximus the Confessor's combustive historical era, committed
doctrinal reflection, and loud and influential voice took him on a
turbulent career of traveling and writing around the Mediterranean.
Maximus was a spiritual teacher, an ascetic and a contemplative,
but he was also a polemicist, a crafter of dogma, an embattled
Christologian, a premeditating rhetorician. In this study, Luke
Steven binds together these two disparate sides of the man and his
writings by showing that throughout his oeuvre the Confessor
positions imitation as the key to knowledge. This lasting
epistemology characterizes his earlier ascetic and spiritual works,
and in his later works it prominently defines his dogmatic
Christological method - that is, the means by which he communicates
and persuades and brings people to understand and encounter Jesus
Christ, the one with two natures, divine and human. This
multifaceted study offers a deep assessment of Maximus's forebears,
new insight on the animating assumptions of his thought, and an
unprecedented focus on the rhetoric and method of his
christological writings.
