Activity and Participation in Late Antique and Early Christian
Thought is an investigation into two basic concepts of ancient
pagan and Christian thought. The study examines how activity in
Christian thought is connected with the topic of participation: for
the lower levels of being to participate in the higher means to
receive the divine activity into their own ontological
constitution. Torstein Theodor Tollefsen sets a detailed discussion
of the work of church fathers Gregory of Nyssa, Dionysius the
Areopagite, Maximus the Confessor, and Gregory Palamas in the
context of earlier trends in Aristotelian and Neoplatonist
philosophy. His concern is to highlight how the Church Fathers
thought energeia (i.e. activity or energy) is manifested as divine
activity in the eternal constitution of the Trinity, the creation
of the cosmos, the Incarnation of Christ, and in salvation
understood as deification.
