Descrição: When the many readers of Aloys Grillmeier’s standard work on the early history of Christian thinking about Jesus arrive at the sixth-century theologian Leontius of Byzantium, they are informed, “Until recently there was no attempt to produce a critical edition of the authentic works which were or should be ascribed to one and the same Leontius. According to Leontius, “when there is a struggle and a discussion about doctrine, then we must refrain from using verbal ambiguities, and take the proper meanings from the definitions themselves, so that the precision of the things themselves may not be damaged by the imprecision of words” (283). Readers of this difficult and challenging book, decades in the making, witness nothing less than what we would identify as the rise of “Patristics” as a recognizable field of study.
