A leading historical theologian surveys the early Church’s thinking about Christ
 
Brian E. Daley, SJ, is a renowned and prolific historical theologian. His research has been published in a wide range of academic journals and edited collections; this volume brings several of his numerous studies of patristic Christology together for the first time.
 
The sixteen essays in this collection explore the Christology of the early Church with attention to narrative overviews, the Cappadocians, Augustine, and Chalcedon with its legacies; consideration is also given to Christology within the contexts of early philosophical and apocalyptic traditions.
