Theology
“This large yet lucid volume is not only a recapitulation, in somewhat more popular terms, of the author’s monumental study of apokatastasis, or universal restoration, in early Christian thought; it carries the story forward to the middle ages, adds material on annihilationism, and digests the author’s previous work on the meaning of the word aionios into an appendix—all with an unmatched command of primary sources and scholarly literature.”
Theology
“Students of the imbroglio known as the Arian controversy will be glad to have this lucid, comprehensive, and dispassionate survey of the diverse opinions that Christians of the fourth century held concerning the relation of God the Son to God the Father. The authors do not lose sight of the political and pragmatic factors which influenced theological formulations, and they offer shrewd reflections on the strengths and weaknesses of the party labels which have been devised to guide Christians through the intellectual hubbub of this era. The chapters on Gothic theology and the doctrine of the Holy Spirit ensure that this compact volume will serve the needs of both students and researchers more fully than any other history of the Council of Nicaea and its aftermath.”
