This book traces developments in Christology - specifically the metaphysics of the union of divine and human natures in one person - from 1050 (the age of Anselm of Canterbury) to 1250 (the age of Albert the Great). During the first part of the period, the key issue is the conflict between Augustine's homo assumptus (assumed man) Christology, defended by the Victorines, and that of Boethius's Chalcedonian Christology, defended by Gilbert of Poitiers (sometimes known as the 'subsistence' theory). By 1180, the latter was almost universally accepted. A third view, apparently accepted by Peter Lombard, among others, according to which it is not true that Christ as man is something - the non-aliquid Christology - was condemned in 1177. The second part of the book traces the way in which theologians attempted to develop the presentation of Conciliar Christology by working out inchoate solutions to some of the metaphysical questions that the issue raises: what is the nature of the hypostatic union between the two natures or the human nature and the divine person - is it something created or uncreated? And, given that the human nature is a particular substance, what prevents it from being a person? Theologians used insights from both of the rejected theories (the homo assumptus Christology and the non-aliquid Christology) in attempting to answer these issues. The early thirteenth century saw the founding of the universities of Paris and Oxford and the founding of the Franciscan and Dominican orders. The book explores their impact on the formation of Christological teaching.
