Jesus Christ in Eastern Christian thought. Protopresviter John Meyendorf

The book of the famous theologian, patrologist and historian of the Orthodox Church of Protopresoviter John Meyendorf (1926-1992) is devoted to disputes about one of the most important and most difficult problems of Christian theology-a single hypostasis of Jesus Christ, in which His Divine and Human Nature combined. A different understanding of the phenomenon of this compound has split the early church, and this section of the Church was no longer possible to overcome the contradiction. The author shows how for centuries he was approved and surrounded by theological justifications of the Chalkidon dogma of the God -manism of Christ. The issues that split the early church in the middle of the last century were updated by the so -called. The new theology that influenced the decisions of the II Vatican Cathedral, and the book of Fr. John was a response to the discussions.
