Description
Summary:This text provides a complete account of the metaphysical aspects of Christology in Western theology, during the years from 1250 to 1310. This period is the most significant for the theology of the middle ages, beginning with Bonaventure and Thomas Aquinas, and ending with Duns Scotus. The book opens with an extensive treatment of the different theories of the union between Christ's human nature and the second person of the Trinity: primarily that of Bonaventure, according to which the union is a kind of dependence relationship, and that of Aquinas, according to which the union consists in a sharing of the divine being with a human nature.
