"Maximus the Confessor, saint and martyr, was the theologian of synthesis: of Rome and Byzantium, of Eastern and Western theology, reexcavating great treasures of Christian tradition which had been buried by imperial and ecclesial censure." "This book presents a powerful, attractive, religiously compelling portrait of the thought of a major Christian theologian who might, but for this book, have remained only an obscure name in the handbooks of patrology. It is based on an intelligent and careful reading of Maximus' own writings. Here the history of theology has become itself a way of theological reflection."--BOOK JACKET.
