The early centuries of the Christian church are widely regarded as
the most decisive and influential for the formation of the
church’s convictions about Jesus Christ. The essays in this
volume offer readers a fresh orientation, and ground-breaking
analyses, of the figure of Jesus in late antiquity. Written by
historians and theologians who examine the thought of leading
theologians, Latin and Greek, from the second through the seventh
centuries, these essays honor and complement the scholarship of
Brian E. Daley, Catherine F. Huisking Professor of Theology at the
University of Notre Dame. While most discussions still confine
patristic Christology to its conciliar trajectory, this volume
broadens our horizons. The essays gathered here explore aspects of
early Christology that cannot be narrowly confined to the path
marked by the ecumenical councils. The contributors locate Jesus
within a rich matrix of relationships: they explore how early
Christian theologians connected Jesus Christ to their other
doctrinal concerns about God, the gift of salvation, and the
eschaton, and they articulate how convictions about Jesus Christ
informed numerous practices, including discipleship, martyrdom,
scriptural interpretation, and even the practice of thinking well
about Christ. Contributors: Peter W. Martens, D. Jeffrey Bingham,
Khaled Anatolios, Michael C. McCarthy, S.J., Carl L. Beckwith,
Christopher A. Beeley, Kelley McCarthy Spoerl, Basil Studer,
O.S.B., Rowan Douglas Williams, Lewis Ayres, David R. Maxwell, John
J. O'Keefe, John A. McGuckin, and Andrew Louth.
