| Zusammenfassung: | To what kind of existence does Christ call us?0Christian theology has from its inception posited a powerful vision of humanity's ultimate and eternal fulfilment through the person and work of Jesus Christ. How precisely to understand and approach the human perfection to which the Christian is summoned is a question that has vexed the minds of many and diverse theologians.0Orthodox Christian theology is notable for its consistent interest in this question, and over the last century has offered to the West a wealth of theological insight on the matter, drawn both from the resources of its Byzantine theological heritage as well as its living interaction with Western theological and philosophical currents. In this regard, the important themes of personhood, deification, epektasis, apophaticism, and divine energies have been elaborated with much success by Orthodox theologians; but not without controversy. 0Human Perfection in Byzantine Theology addresses the question of human perfection in Orthodox theology via a retrieval of the sources, examining in turn the thought of leading representatives of the Byzantine theological tradition: St Maximus the Confessor, St Theodore the Studite, St Symeon the New Theologian, and St Gregory Palamas. The overarching argument of this study is that in order to present an Orthodox Christian understanding of human perfection which remains true to its0Byzantine inheritance, supreme emphasis must be placed on the doctrine of Christ, especially on the significance and import of Christ's humanity. The intention of this work is thus to keep the creative approach to human destiny in Orthodox theology firmly moored to its theological past |

How precisely to understand and approach the human perfection to which the Christian is summoned is a question that has vexed the minds of many and diverse theologians.0Orthodox Christian theology is notable for its consistent interest in this question, and over the last century has offered to the West a wealth of theological insight on the matter, drawn both from the resources of its Byzantine theological heritage as well as its living interaction with Western theological and philosophical currents. In this regard, the important themes of personhood, deification, epektasis, apophaticism, and divine energies have been elaborated with much success by Orthodox theologians; but not without controversy. 0Human Perfection in Byzantine Theology addresses the question of human perfection in Orthodox theology via a retrieval of the sources, examining in turn the thought of leading representatives of the Byzantine theological tradition: St Maximus the Confessor, St Theodore the Studite, St Symeon the New Theologian, and St Gregory Palamas. The overarching argument of this study is that in order to present an Orthodox Christian understanding of human perfection which remains true to its0Byzantine inheritance, supreme emphasis must be placed on the doctrine of Christ, especially on the significance and import of Christ's humanity. The intention of this work is thus to keep the creative approach to human destiny in Orthodox theology firmly moored to its theological past Maximus Tyrius 125-185 (DE-588)118944819 gnd rswk-swf Theodorus Studita 759-826 (DE-588)118756761 gnd rswk-swf Simeon Novus Theologus 949-1022 (DE-588)118620274 gnd rswk-swf Gregorios Thessaloniki, Metropolit, Heiliger 1296-1359 (DE-588)11854182X gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Christologie (DE-588)4010141-1 gnd rswk-swf Vergöttlichung (DE-588)4752314-1 gnd rswk-swf Vollkommenheit (DE-588)4188575-2 gnd rswk-swf Orthodoxe Theologie (DE-588)4172861-0 gnd rswk-swf Vervollkommnung (DE-588)4392570-4 gnd rswk-swf Theologische Anthropologie (DE-588)4059766-0 gnd rswk-swf Byzantinisches Reich (DE-588)4009256-2 gnd rswk-swf Perfection / Religious aspects / Orthodox Eastern Church / History of doctrines Byzantinische Literatur (DE-2581)TH000005767 gbd Byzantinisches Reich (DE-588)4009256-2 g Vervollkommnung (DE-588)4392570-4 s Vollkommenheit (DE-588)4188575-2 s Theologische Anthropologie (DE-588)4059766-0 s Orthodoxe Theologie (DE-588)4172861-0 s Geschichte z DE-604 Christologie (DE-588)4010141-1 s Vergöttlichung (DE-588)4752314-1 s Maximus Tyrius 125-185 (DE-588)118944819 p Theodorus Studita 759-826 (DE-588)118756761 p Simeon Novus Theologus 949-1022 (DE-588)118620274 p Gregorios Thessaloniki, Metropolit, Heiliger 1296-1359 (DE-588)11854182X p Electronic version 9780192583994 Torrance, Alexis, 1985- Human perfection in Byzantine theology First edition Oxford ; New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2020 (DE-604)BV047085174 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032514336&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
