‎Maximus the Confessor's Thomistic Legacy‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: xiv + 150, Size:152 x 229 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9780888442444.‎

‎Summary Straddling Greek Byzantium and the Latin Middle Ages, this study in historical theology locates Maximus the Confessor's Christology in the hybrid Greek and Latin milieu in which it originally flourished. Tracing the paths taken by Maximus's writings, it shows how Thomas Aquinas sought to rehabilitate their contributions to the Church's conciliar heritage for the entire subsequent Latin tradition. Across its six central chapters, the book explores how Maximus's Christology was transmitted by John Damascene, Nicetas of Heraclea, and other key figures through the centuries, before analyzing how Thomas's readings of Maximian thought interrelate with those of his thirteenth-century Scholastic peers, especially Bonaventure and Albert the Great. Thomas's turn toward the Greek East for theological inspiration remained unique in the period and ensured his understanding of the Greek Fathers, thereby guiding the dramatic evolution of his Christology throughout his career. Maximus the Confessor's Thomistic Legacy is also a work of bridging worlds: it not only presents a richer history of Latin High Scholasticism, but also contributes significantly to the ressourcement of Catholic theology by surveying the place of Thomas's Maximianism in the thought of Hans Urs von Balthasar and Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), among the foremost modern readers of Maximus. Inspired by Thomas's example, both von Balthasar and Ratzinger model a Thomistic Maximianism that can sustain the cause for Catholic and Orthodox re-communion.

‎This work provides a synthetic treatment of Maximus the Confessor's Ambigua to John, a collection of texts uniquely expressive of the speculative contours of his thought. Maximus the Confessor (580-662) is one of the great minds of the Christian tradition and his Ambigua to John are a collection of texts uniquely expressive of the speculative contours of his thought. They have not, however, received a synthetic treatment until now. This work provides such a synthetic treatment and argues that Maximus' central concern in the Ambigua to John is to articulate the nature of philosophy and, more precisely, the scope of the contemplation of nature within the philosophical life, where "philosophy," the love of wisdom, is nothing less than the love of the Divine. Part I of this study provides a thorough background in Greek philosophical and patristic philosophies of nature, showing how Maximus' predecessors understood knowledge of the world in relation to philosophical life, discourse, and praxis. Part II studies the contemplation of nature in the Ambigua and analyzes Maximus' account of human affectivity in the world, his account of the coherence of philosophical life (praxis and contemplation) as a response to this affectivity, his understanding of the relation between God and the world, and his reconciliation of these various aspects of philosophy in the Christian economy of salvation, which he understands as the renewal of nature and its contemplation.
