ΓΝΏΜΗ – THE BIBLICAL ROOTS OF AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL CONCEPT OF MAXIMUS THE CONFESSOR

Summary/Abstract: Γνώμη – the biblical roots of an anthropological concept of Maximus the Confessor. The theological and anthropological researches on Saint Maximus Confessor’s texts have always deepened the maximian thinking on a very complex and many-sided topic: the gnomic will, but have never focused on the singular aspect of γνώμη, if not parenthetically. In a monothelitic and monoenergetic controversial context, the maximian speculation on Christ’s double will and double energheiai becomes the starting point of a new anthropological and Christological horizon: what is γνώμη? Has Christ a γνώμη and subsequently a gnomic will? Did sin change the way the human beings feel, think and act? At the same time, did sin corrupt Christ’s way of felling, thinking and acting? Trying to give an answer to these questions, it will take us to the very heart of the inquiry: what is γνώμη? The present article tries to reveal the biblical roots of this fundamental concept of Maximus Confessor’s speculation.
