Maximus the Confessor: Jesus Christ and the Transfiguration of the World (Christian Theology in Context)

Paul M. Blowers

OUP Oxford

This volume gathers fresh perspectives on the development of biblical interpretation and other important themes in the study of Christian authors from the patristic period. Covering such central figures as Origen, Augustine, and Gregory of Nyssa, as well as less familiar figures, these compelling studies offer a rich variety of perspectives on the ways that church fathers used the Bible theologically, devotionally, liturgically, ethically, and pastorally. Written by established and emerging scholars in the field, this volume not only honors the career of Robert Louis Wilken, one of today's foremost historians of early Christianity, but also represents the state of the art in patristics scholarship.

With roots in British and American endeavors to restore apostolic Christianity, the Stone-Campbell Movement drew its inspiration from the independent efforts of nineteenth-century religious reformers Barton W. Stone and the father-son team of Thomas and Alexander Campbell. The union of these two movements in the 1830s and the growth of the new body thrust it into a place of significance in early nineteenth-century America, and it quickly spread to other parts of the English-speaking world. From its beginnings the Movement has developed into one of the most vital and diverse Christian traditions in the world. Today it encompasses three major American communions -- Churches of Christ, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and Christian Churches/Churches of Christ -- as well as united churches in several other countries. Over ten years in the making, The Encyclopedia of the Stone-Campbell Movement offers for the first time a sweeping historical and theological treatment of this complex, vibrant global communion. Written by more than 300 contributors, this major reference work contains over 700 original articles covering all of the significant individuals, events, places, and theological tenets that have shaped the Movement. Much more than simply a historical dictionary, this volume also constitutes an interpretive work reflecting historical consensus among Stone-Campbell scholars, even as it attempts to present a fair, representative picture of the rich heritage that is the Stone-Campbell Movement. Scores of photographs and illustrations (many quite rare) enrich and enliven the text, and an extensive, carefully prepared index facilitates ready access to important information throughout the volume.
