In this volume, Khaled Anatolios presents a comprehensive study of Saint Athanasius, one of the most influential figures in the development of Christian doctrine. He analyzes the coherence of Athanasius' theology by relating the various aspects of his doctrine - God, creation, theological anthropology, Christology and redemption, and the life of grace - to a pervasive emphasis on the radical distinction, and simultaneous relation, between God and world. Athanasius: The Coherence of his Thought provides a systematic account of the overall inner logic of the Athanasian vision. It shows how the various aspects of his doctrine are mutually related and in so doing elucidates the complexities both of Athanasian thought and Christian doctrine in general.

This book presents the fundamental elements of Athanasius' response to the central questions of the identity of Jesus and the nature of his relationship with God. Providing a useful introduction on his life and work, the book focuses on the tumultuous doctrinal controversies of the day in which he was a central figure. Key selections from his writings, newly translated, have all been chosen with a view to presenting the rationale for Athanasius' fundamental theological positions: the divinity and humanity of Christ, human redemption, the divinity and work of the Holy Spirit, the logic of Christian worship, and the scriptural basis for the doctrinal formulations of the Council of Nicaea. Students of history and classical studies, and even students of religious studies will find this an essential part of their course reading.

Khaled Anatolios, a noted expert on the development of Nicene theology, offers a historically informed theological study of the development of the doctrine of the Trinity, showing its relevance to Christian life and thought today. According to Anatolios, the development of trinitarian doctrine involved a global interpretation of Christian faith as a whole. Consequently, the meaning of trinitarian doctrine is to be found in a reappropriation of the process of this development, such that the entirety of Christian existence is interpreted in a trinitarian manner. The book provides essential resources for this reappropriation by identifying the network of theological issues that comprise the "systematic scope" of Nicene theology, focusing especially on the trinitarian perspectives of three major theologians: Athanasius, Gregory of Nyssa, and Augustine. It includes a foreword by Brian E. Daley.

Deification through the Cross: An Eastern Christian Theology of Salvation

A unified soteriology for the whole church
It is commonly claimed that Western Christianity teaches salvation as deliverance from sin through Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross, while Eastern Christianity teaches salvation as deliverance from death—and as deification—through Christ’s incarnation. But is it really true that there is no normative, unified doctrine of salvation to be found in Scripture and tradition? 
Theologian Khaled Anatolios, deeply grounded in both East and West, here expounds a soteriology that speaks deeply to all Christians. He argues that both Western and Eastern perspectives are needed, and especially that Eastern theology and liturgy, contrary to Western misperceptions, hold cross, resurrection, and glorification together in an exemplary way. Anatolios uses the phrase “doxological contrition” to suggest that the truth of salvation is found both in Jesus’s perfect glorification of God and in his representative repentance for humanity’s sinful rejection of its original calling to participate in the life of the Holy Trinity. 
Deification through the Cross is a salutary rebuttal of the postmodern fragmentation that assumes no single, normative soteriology can apply globally. Anatolios systematically expounds an integrated soteriology, which he then puts into dialogue with various perspectives, including liberation theology, Girardian theory, and penal substitution. All who seek to understand and teach “the joy of our salvation” will find indispensable help in this magisterial retrieval of an often-misunderstood doctrine.

Review\n“This book is a masterpiece of careful, wide-ranging engagement in the Christian tradition.” 
— CHOICE\n“Readers will find this book to be a brilliant critique of the strengths and weaknesses of modern approaches to the atonement and a reliable guide to the meaning of salvation.” 
— Interpretation\n“A welcome contribution that avoids merely cataloguing previously renowned and obscure authors’ thoughts and ideas in the name of theology, and instead advances theological reflection and encourages Christians to embrace a salvific praxis of the Way, as originally founded by Jesus.” 
— Theological Studies\n“This profound and beautiful book is the finest yet from the hand of its remarkable author. Khaled Anatolios sees the suffering of the cross not as a problem to be solved (or explained away), but as the full and free enactment of Jesus’s perfect sorrow over the sins of the world—at once the eternal Son’s glorification of the Father in our flesh and the opening up of divine life itself to sinners. This is a deeply learned theological work at home with the whole Christian tradition, but it is also much more than that. By finding anew the cross at the heart of the mystery of salvation, this theologian makes the joy of the gospel leap off the page.” 
— Bruce D. Marshall 
Perkins School of Theology\n“In this book, Khaled Anatolios rises magnificently to the late Fr. Alexander Schmemann’s challenge to engage in liturgical theology, that is, a theology that emerges from and is nourished by the liturgy. His subject is of major importance, with enormous ecumenical repercussions: the doctrine of the atonement. From his immersion in the Byzantine liturgy, he offers the central theme of doxological contrition, and pursues this in dialogue with the Scriptures and with an impressive array of theologians—Athanasius, Cyril, Maximus, Anselm, Aquinas, Nicholas Cabasilas, Scheeben, Staniloae, Balthasar. Deification through the Cross is a triumph of sympathetic dialogue, transcending the easy dichotomies of much twentieth-century theology.” 
— Andrew Louth 
Durham University\n“The modern discussion of salvation can seem a bewildering collection of competing images, models, and perspectives. Khaled Anatolios not only brings the biblical and traditional material into focus but also points toward a more faithful way of understanding and experiencing what salvation through the life, death, and resurrection of Christ can mean for the church and the Christian.”

38 homilies for holy days throughout the liturgical year &nbsp; The liturgical year centers on the story of Jesus--his birth, ministry, death, and resurrection. To attend to the feasts of the church is to enter into the life of Christ. Khaled Anatolios invites us into this perpetual mystery with thirty-eight homilies for the feasts of the church year. &nbsp; As a patristic theologian, Anatolios illuminates the traditional doctrines of Christology and the Trinity, in a style reminiscent of the sermons of the great fathers of the church. Originally delivered as part of the Eastern Christian Divine Liturgy, the homilies look toward its Eucharistic fulfillment.&nbsp;Feasts for the Kingdom&nbsp;covers Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and other important holy days along the way. Also included are sermons for a federal election, funerals, and a wedding. This volume makes the perfect companion for pastors seeking inspiration for their own preaching and for ordinary Christians aiming to enrich their prayerful preparation for each liturgical season.
