| Description: |
In The Whole Mystery of Christ, Wood offers a groundbreaking historical and systematic study of Maximus Confessor, one of the most influential theologians of the early Church. Wood examines Maximus's complex theological vision, especially his belief that "the Word of God, very God, wills always and in all things to actualize the mystery of his Incarnation."
The book explores Maximus's thought within the context of earlier church fathers, Christological and Trinitarian debates, monastic practices, and contemporary philosophy. Wood delves into key theological themes, including creation, the relationship between God's creation and Christ's Incarnation, deification, grace, and the nature of personhood. A central claim of the book is Maximus's view of creatio ex nihilo (creation out of nothing) as creatio ex Deo (creation out of God) through the Word's kenosis (self-emptying). This work serves as both an in-depth exploration of Maximus's theology and a corrective to previous theological interpretations, offering a significant contribution to patristic scholarship. |
