Maximus the Confessor
St.
Maximus the Confessor, the greatest of the Byzantine theologians, lived
through the most catastrophic period the Byzantine Empire was to
experience before the Crusades. This book introduces the reader to the
times and upheavals during which Maximus lived. It discusses his cosmic
vision of humanity and the role of the church. The study makes available
a large number of Maximus' theological treatises, many of them
translated for the first time, which are accompanied by lucid and
informed introductions. Maximus the Confessor provides a much needed
introduction to the theology of Maximus, as well as direct access to his
profound but often difficult thought.
