On the Cosmic Mystery of Jesus Christ

Popular Patristics Series, Book 25

By: Saint Maximus Confessor

Narrated by: Jonah Martin

The last half of the 20th century saw the establishment of the reputation of St Maximus the Confessor as the greatest of all Byzantine theologians, with a wholeness of vision that speaks directly to many of our concerns today. Until very recently, however, little of his work has been available in English translation, save for some collections of brief reflections arranged in centuries and a few brief treatises, too easily classified as "spirituality."

This volume provides translations from St Maximus, two main collections of theological reflections, his Ambigua (or difficulties), and his questions to Thalassius, plus one of his Christological opuscula, hitherto unavailable in English.

Maximus and Jordan Daniel Wood

Jordan Daniel Wood’s The Whole Mystery of Christ turned me on to this excellent audible.

Notes

Stopping to read every note makes it impossible to follow anything St Maximus is trying to convey. If youre studying so closely you want to read the notes you should just get the book. Very poor audiobook experience
