thinker Vladimir Solov'ev (1853-1900) about divine-humanity, the term he
used to express the patristic doctrine of deification. The first chapter
examines the theme of deification in the patristic tradition and shows
that he himself was extremely familiar with the writings of the Church
Fathers and the doctrinal teachings of the early Church Councils. The
following three chapters are devoted to specific works of Solov'ev which
are analysed in detail, Lectures on Divine Humanity, The
Spiritual Foundations of Life; and The Justification of the
Good. Of these, the latter two have, to date, received little
extended scholarly study. The over-arching thrust of this work is that
Solov'ev's concept of deification started as a reflection of the
mystical and cosmic expressions of deification characteristic of the
late Greek patristic period but develops so to be expressed in the
western terminology of grace and focuses on the active implementation of
deification in the world, taking the teaching out of its original
monastic context. Chapter Two reveals the significant impact of Maximus
the Confessor on Solov'ev's thought and identifies the dyothelite
Christological model which Maximus develops from the dogmatic definition
of the Council of Chalcedon as crucial hermeneutical principle in
Solov'ev's thought. Chapter Three shows the development of Solov'ev's
teaching about deification, examining how it expands to embrace
different models of deification, adopting western as well as eastern
theological approaches and finding its centre in the life of the Church.
Finally, Chapter Four shows how Solov'ev's deepening understanding of
the western approach to deification through the language of grace is
combined with an eastern understanding of human anthropology, enabling
him to integrate realistic and moral approaches to deification, and
address the whole range of human experience in terms of divine union and
the Kingdom of God. | Aggiungi al Carrello |
