Two Hundred Texts on Theology and the Incarnate Dispensation
Maximos at his most theologically dense and ambitious
Maximos at his most theologically dense and ambitious. Two hundred texts moving between theology proper — the nature of God — and the incarnate dispensation — God's saving action in Christ. The scope is vast, covering creation, incarnation, deification, and the final destiny of all things. Not an entry-level text. Read the Four Hundred Texts on Love first, and ideally the Lord's Prayer commentary. The vision that emerges from patient engagement is the largest in the tradition — but it requires significant preparation to receive it.
