Book Synopsis Theodoret of Cyrus by : Istvan Pasztori Kupan
Download or read book Theodoret of Cyrus written by Istvan Pasztori Kupan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The larger part of Theodoret of Cyrus' existant body of work still remains untranslated, and this lack provides a fragmented representation of his thought and has lead to his misrepresentation by ancient, medieval and some modern scholars. Theodoret of Cyrus presents a fresh collection of texts from all periods of his career, including two complete treatises (On the Trinity and On the Incarnation) as well as representative selections from two others (A Cure of Greek Maladies and A Compendium of Heretical Mythification) so far unpublished in English, with a critical introduction concerning his life, legacy and place in the history of Christian doctrine. This book provides the reader with a more balanced picture of Theodoret's often neglected, depreciated and largely inaccessible theological legacy.

Book Synopsis Christian Antioch by : D. S. Wallace-Hadrill
Download or read book Christian Antioch written by D. S. Wallace-Hadrill and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1982-09-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive survey of the history and, more particularly, of the thought of Antioch from the second to the eighth centuries of the Christian era. Dr Wallace-Hadrill traces the religious background of Antiochene Christianity and examines in detail aspects of its intellectual life: the exegesis of scripture, the interpretation of history, philosophy, and the doctrine of the nature of God as applied to an understanding of Christ and man's salvation. The community at Antioch stressed history and literalism, in self-conscious opposition to the tendency to allegorise that prevailed at Alexandria. While insisting on the divinity of Christ, they were equally adamant that no other doctrine should be allowed to compromise their central belief that Jesus was really human.
Book Synopsis Theodoret's People by : Adam M. Schor
Download or read book Theodoret's People written by Adam M. Schor and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Adam Schor explores the social and doctrinal role of Theodoret in a novel and lively way, making use of social theory, and seeing Theodoret's activities and contacts against the rich documentation provided by the great ecclesiastical controversies of his time.” —Fergus Millar, author of A Greek Roman Empire: Power and Belief under Theodosius II, 408-450 “Schor's proposal that modern social network theory is the key to understanding Theodoret of Cyrus's social positioning and mode of controversy makes for compelling reading. His nuanced yet powerful analysis shows the continued relevance of socio-scientific methods for understanding the history of late antique Christianity.” —Richard Lim, author of Public Disputation, Power and Social Order in Late Antiquity "Adam Schor has written a lively and incisive study of a notoriously difficult era. Mining the substantial (but greatly understudied) letter collections of the times, applying the insights of network theory, and boldly taking on the entire corpus of Theodoret's writings—an ambitious project in itself—Schor has produced strikingly fresh material throughout. With rich insight and rigorous attention to detail, Schor opens new vistas on the late antique landscape. Thought-provoking at every turn!” Susan Ashbrook Harvey, author of Scenting Salvation: Ancient Christianity and the Olfactory Imagination
Book Synopsis Anaxagoras, Origen, and Neoplatonism by : Panayiotis Tzamalikos
Download or read book Anaxagoras, Origen, and Neoplatonism written by Panayiotis Tzamalikos and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-09-26 with total page 1822 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Origen has been always studied as a theologian and too much credit has been given to Eusebius’ implausible hagiography of him. This book explores who Origen really was, by pondering into his philosophical background, which determines his theological exposition implicitly, yet decisively. For this background to come to light, it took a ground-breaking exposition of Anaxagoras’ philosophy and its legacy to Classical and Late Antiquity (Plato, Aristotle, Stoics, Origen, Neoplatonism), assessing critically Aristotle’s distorted representation of Anaxagoras. Origen, formerly a Greek philosopher of note, whom Proclus styled an anti-Platonist, is placed in the history of philosophy for the first time. By drawing on his Anaxagorean background, and being the first to revive the Anaxagorean Theory of Logoi, he paved the way to Nicaea. He was an anti-Platonist because he was an Anaxagorean philosopher with far-reaching influence, also on Neoplatonists such as Porphyry. His theology made an impact not only on the Cappadocians, but also on later Christian authors. His theory of the soul, now expounded in the light of his philosophical background, turns out more orthodox than that of some Christian stars of the Byzantine imperial orthodoxy.

This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: „Studiind operele lui Aristotel, pare că eşti condus prin mai multe săli de expoziţie, fiecare ticsită cu probleme şi întrebări: acestea pot fi abordate dintr-un unghi sau din altul, preluate şi examinate, încercând analize diferite şi propunând diverse modalităţi de a le găsi o soluţie… Aristotel caută încă răspunsul – şi ne invită să-l căutăm împreună cu el” (Jonathan Barnes). De aproape 2400 de ani, filosofia lui Aristotel continuă să genereze dezbateri aprinse şi să inspire, în fiecare epocă, interpretări novatoare, într-un dialog neîntrerupt cu tradiţia intelectuală a Greciei antice. Reunind cercetători din toate generaţiile, cu abordări diferite şi variate subiecte de interes, editorii acestui volum speră să fi dovedit, încă o dată, caracterul complex şi inepuizabil al moştenirii aristotelice.
Book Synopsis An Ancient Commentary on the Book of Revelation by :
Download or read book An Ancient Commentary on the Book of Revelation written by and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a new critical edition, with translation and commentary, of the Scholia in Apocalypsin, which were falsely attributed to Origen a century ago. They include extensive sections from Didymus the Blind's lost Commentary on the Apocalypse (fourth century) and therefore counter the current belief that Oecumenius' commentary (sixth century) was the most ancient. Professor Tzamalikos argues that their author was in fact Cassian the Sabaite, an erudite monk and abbot at the monastery of Sabas, the Great Laura, in Palestine. He was different from the alleged Latin author John Cassian, placed a century or so before the real Cassian. The Scholia attest to the tension between the imperial Christian orthodoxy of the sixth century and certain monastic circles, who drew freely on Hellenic ideas and on alleged 'heretics'. They show that, during that period, Hellenism was a vigorous force inspiring not only pagan intellectuals, but also influential Christian quarters.
