Christ the Word (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025552712)

"Christ the Word" is a profound exploration of the intersection between ancient Greek philosophy and the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith. Written by the distinguished critic and scholar Paul Elmer More, this work serves as a pivotal entry in his series, "The Greek Tradition." The text meticulously traces the development of the doctrine of the Incarnation from the early apostolic teachings through the complex theological debates of the early Church councils.

More argues that the fusion of Platonic thought with the Christian revelation provided the necessary intellectual framework for understanding the nature of Christ as the Word, or Logos. By examining the writings of the Church Fathers and the evolution of Nicene orthodoxy, the author illustrates how Christianity successfully synthesized Hellenic metaphysical concepts with the historical reality of Jesus. This scholarly investigation delves into the philosophical nuances that defined early Christology, offering readers a deep understanding of how the Church articulated its most central mysteries. "Christ the Word" remains an essential resource for students of historical theology, the philosophy of religion, and the enduring legacy of the classical world within the Christian tradition.
