It is not within the scope of the present chapter to discuss all the different sources which have been enumerated; but it is sufficient to show that the information which we obtain'from Syriac documents and from the writings of Philoxenus himself, sometimes confirms or supplements, and sometimes corrects or contradicts the testimony derived from non-syriac sources.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a vivid account of the life and doctrine of Philoxenus of Mabbogh, a prominent figure in the theological debates of the 5th and 6th centuries. Through an examination of his letters and other writings, the author delves into Philoxenus's central role in the Monophysite movement, a Christian sect that opposed the idea of two natures in Christ. The book sheds light on Philoxenus's struggle against the prevailing doctrines of his time, his steadfast adherence to his beliefs, and the impact of his ideas on the development of Christian thought. By presenting Philoxenus's writings alongside historical context and theological analysis, the author illuminates the enduring significance of his contributions to the understanding of the nature of Christ, the Trinity, and the Real Presence.
