Synopsis
Excerpt from A Select Library of Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church, Vol. 12: Second Series
Except for such valuable help - chicfly however in the way of. Comment and explana tion - as Canon Bright's volume (s. Leo on the Incarnation) has supplied, both the selection and the translation of the Letters and Sermons of Leo Magnus are practically original. It is even more difficult to feel satisfied oneself, than to satisfy others either with a selection from a great man's works or with a translation of them. The powers of Leo as a preacher both of doctrine and of practice are very remarkable, and in my anxiety to keep within the limits imposed by the publishers, I have erred in presenting too few rather than too many of the Sermons to the English reader. Only those that are generally held genuine are represented, though several of the doubtful ones are fine sermons, and those translated are in most cases no better than those omitted. Even when the same thought is repeated again and again (as is Often the case), it is almost always clothed in such different language, and surrounded with so many other thoughts of value, that every sermon has an almost equal claim to be selected.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and works of a prominent figure during a pivotal period in the 5th century. The Roman Empire was in decline, and both the Church and society were undergoing significant transformations. The author skillfully navigates this complex landscape, exploring the challenges and triumphs of this era. The book's central figure emerges as a leading theologian and influential leader within the Church. His deep understanding of Christian doctrine and unwavering commitment to orthodoxy shaped theological discourse and left a lasting impact on the Church's development.

Beyond theological debates, the book explores the broader historical context of the 5th century, shedding light on the political and social dynamics of the time. The author provides valuable insights into the decline of the Roman Empire, the rise of barbarian invasions, and the evolving role of the Church within a changing society. Through a meticulous examination of the subject's life and works, this book offers a comprehensive portrait of a pivotal figure and his enduring influence on the course of Christian history and the development of theological thought.
