SUMMARY:Master Class on Maximus the Confessor
DESCRIPTION:St. Maximus the Confessor is rapidly becoming one of the most studied of all early Christian theologians; the depths and richness of his writings and theology are being ever more appreciated. This masterclass focused on one specific—and short—text\, Ambiguum 41\, perhaps the richest of them all and certainly the one for which is best known. It speaks of five fundamental differences or divisions within being\, with the vocation of the human being to unite them: Uncreated and created; intelligible and sensible; heaven and earth; paradise and the inhabited world; male and female. We will work through the Greek text (with a parallel edition)\, and compare his treatment of the male/female distinction to that which we find in Gregory of Nyssa’s De Hominis Opificio.\nReading \n\nMaximus the Confessor\, Ambiguum 41 (PDF supplied) from Maximos the Confessor: On Difficulties in the Church Fathers: The Ambigua\, ed. and trans.
