Grace and Christology in the Early Church (Oxford Early Christian Studies) - Hardcover
How did the early Church understand the relation between grace, salvation, and the person of Christ? Donald Fairbairn's persuasive study shows that, despite intense theological controversy, there was in fact a very strong consensus in the fifth century about what salvation was and who Christ needed to be in order to save people. This consensus can serve as a standard by which to judge the varied pictures of Christ which coexist in the contemporary Church.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Was there a genuine theological consensus about Christ in the early Church? Donald Fairbairn's persuasive study uses the concept of grace to clarify this question. There were two sharply divergent understandings of grace and christology. One understanding, characteristic of Theodore and Nestorius, saw grace as God's gift of co-operation to Christians and Christ as the uniquely graced man. The other understanding, characteristic of Cyril of Alexandria and JohnCassian, saw grace as God the Word's personal descent to the human sphere so as to give himself to humanity. Dealing with, among others, John Chrysostom, John of Antioch, and Leo the Great, Fairbairnsuggests that these two understandings were by no means equally represented in the fifth century: Cyril's view was in fact the consensus of the early Church. Was there a genuine theological consensus about Christ in the early Church? Donald Fairbairn's study uses the concept of grace to clarify this question and finds that the two divergent opinions at the time were by no means equally represented.
