THE CHRISTOLOGY OF CHALCEDON AFTER THE COUNCIL OF CHALCEDON
THE CHRISTOLOGY OF CHALCEDON AFTER THE COUNCIL OF CHALCEDON

Summary/Abstract: This latter argument is the basis of the soteriological doctrine of our Godhead, since the manhood nature of the Logos, hypostasized in Him, is penetrated by His divine energies, becoming the leaven that leavens the lump of all manhood itself. As it can be seen, there is no question in this work of connecting any created grace. Definitely, this teaching is totally unfamiliar to the Fathers' thinking and to the definition of the Council of Chalcedon, precisely because manhood nature itself is made to achieve real communion with God and participate in the uncreated divine life. Moreover, St. Maximus, as we shall see, through His teaching about the two works and two wills of Christ, will prove that the participation of manhood nature in the Godhead is not in any way marked by passivity, but on the contrary it has a genuine restored activity.
