The late middle ages was a period of great speculative innovation
in Christology, within the framework of a standard Christological
opinion established by the Franciscan John Duns Scotus and the
Dominican Hervaeus Natalis. According to this view, the Incarnation
consists in some kind of dependence relationship between an
individual human nature and a divine person. The Metaphysics of
Christology in the Late Middle Ages: William of Ockham to Gabriel
Biel explores ways in which this standard opinion was developed in
the late middle ages. Theologians offered various proposals about
the nature of the relationship—as a categorial relation, or an
absolute quality, or even just the divine will. Author Richard
Cross also considers alternative positions: Peter Auriol's claim
that the divine person is a 'quidditative termination' of the human
nature; the homo assumptus theology of John Wyclif and Jan Hus; and
the retrieval of a truly Thomistic Christology in the fifteenth
century in the thought of John Capreolus and Denys the Carthusian.
The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries were pre-eminently the age
of nominalism, and this book examines the impact of nominalism on
Christological discussions, as well as the development of Thomist
and Scotist theology in the period. It also provides essential
background for the correct understanding of Reformation
Christology.
