This work presents a historically informed, systematic exposition
of the Christology of the first seven Ecumenical Councils of
undivided Christendom, from the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD
to the Second Council of Nicaea in 787 AD. Assuming the truth of
Conciliar Christology for the sake of argument, Timothy Pawl
considers whether there are good philosophical arguments that show
a contradiction or incoherence in that doctrine. He presents the
definitions of important terms in the debate and a helpful
metaphysics for understanding the incarnation. In Defense of
Conciliar Christology discusses three types of philosophical
objections to Conciliar Christology. Firstly, it highlights the
fundamental philosophical problem facing Christologyahow can one
thing be both God and man, when anything deserving to be called
"God" must have certain attributes, and yet it seems that nothing
that can aptly be called "man" can have those same attributes? It
then considers the argument that if the Second Person of the Holy
Trinity were immutable or atemporal, as Conciliar Christology
requires, then that Person could not become anything, and thus
could not become man. Finally, Pawl addresses the objection that if
there is a single Christ then there is a single nature or will in
Christ. However, if that conditional is true, then Conciliar
Christology is false, since it affirms the antecedent of the
conditional to be true, but denies the truth of the consequent.
Pawl defends Conciliar Christology against these charges, arguing
that all three philosophical objections fail to show Conciliar
Christology inconsistent or incoherent.
