This book is a series of about 200 questions and answers regarding specific biblical interpretation (and a few concerning patristic theology, most frequently by Gregory of Nazianzus and Pseudo-Dionysus). Most of Maximus' answers are allegorical interpretations, which I found fascinating and spiritually interesting -- although often convoluted, disregarding the obvious literal interpretation. Each question and answer is between 1/2 page and two pages in length. This is a criticism of Maximus' writing, the translator is clear. (Note: I am a Presbyterian & Evangelical, with an M.A. in theology. I think the literal interpretation is best, and understanding socio-historical background is important.)

Despina D. Prassas's translation of the 'Quaestiones et Dubia' presents for the first time in English one of the Confessor's most significant contributions to early Christian biblical interpretation. Maximus the Confessor (580-662) was a monk whose writings focused on ascetical interpretations of biblical and patristic works. For his refusal to accept the Monothelite position supported by Emperor Constans II, he was tried as a heretic, his right hand was cut off, and his tongue was cut out. In his work, Maximus the Confessor brings together the patristic exegetical aporiai tradition and the spiritual-pedagogical tradition of monastic questions and responses. The overarching theme is the importance of the ascetical life. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
