Description

This major study of Byzantine Christology is at the same time a study of the Orthodox understanding of man and his salvation. Focusing on the concept of hypostasis or "person," Meyendorff states that "man is truly man when he participates in divine life...[and] this participation in no way diminishes his authentically human existence, human energy, and will." - from Amzon
