{"product_id":"early-scholastic-christology-1050-1250-9780198936015","title":"Early Scholastic Christology 1050-1250","description":"This book traces developments in Christology--and specifically the metaphysics of the union of divine and human natures in one person--from 1050 (the age of Anselm of Canterbury) to 1250 (the age of Albert the Great). During the first part of the period, the key issue is the conflict between Augustine's \u003cem\u003ehomo assumptus\u003c\/em\u003e (assumed man) Christology, defended by the Victorines, and that of Boethius's Chalcedonian Christology, defended by Gilbert of Poitiers (sometimes known as the 'subsistence' theory). By 1180, the latter of these was almost universally accepted. A third view, apparently accepted by Peter Lombard among others, according to which it is not true that Christ as man is something--the \u003cem\u003enon-aliquid\u003c\/em\u003e Christology--was condemned in 1177. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe second part of the book traces the way in which theologians attempted to develop the presentation of Conciliar Christology by working out inchoate solutions to some of the metaphysical questions that the issue raises: what is the nature of the hypostatic union between the two natures, or the human nature and the divine person--is it something created, or something uncreated? And, given that the human nature is a particular substance, what prevents it from being a person? Theologians used insights from both of the rejected theories (the \u003cem\u003ehomo assumptus\u003c\/em\u003e Christology and the \u003cem\u003enon-aliquid\u003c\/em\u003e Christology) in attempting to answer these issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe early thirteenth century saw both the founding of the universities of Paris and Oxford, and the founding of the Franciscan and Dominican orders. The book explores the impact of these religious identities on the formation of Christological teaching.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichard Cross, \u003cem\u003eJohn A.
