Monophysitism Past and Present: A Study in Christology by A. A. Luce
"Monophysitism Past and Present: A Study in Christology" by A. A. Luce is a scholarly examination of the theological concept of Monophysitism, written in the early 20th century. The work delves deeply into Christological issues, analyzing the historical and philosophical roots of Monophysitism, a Christological view that posits the existence of only one nature in Christ, as opposed to the dual natures of humanity and divinity upheld by orthodox Christianity. Luce aims
to contextualize the implications of Monophysitism for present-day theological discourse, arguing for its relevance in understanding contemporary faith challenges. The opening of the text introduces the fundamental premise of Monophysitism, tracing its origins to the fifth century and its subsequent condemnation by the Church. Luce highlights the significant historical impact the heresy had on Christian doctrine, emphasizing that a clear understanding of this theological perspective is essential for grasping the orthodox Christological position. He suggests that studying Monophysitism is crucial not only as a historical inquiry but also as a method of preventing errors in current theological thought. Additionally, the first chapter lays out the need for a metaphysical understanding of Christ's nature to appreciate the complexities of the monophysite viewpoint and its implications on faith.
