POST-CHALCEDONIAN SOTERIOLOGICAL CHRISTOLOGY OF POPE LEO THE GREAT IN THE CONTEXT OF CONTEMPORARY THEOLOGICAL-CULTURAL DISCOURSES
Journal Title: Acta Missiologica - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: The presented study is dedicated to the post-Chalcedonian Christology of Pope Leo the Great, as portrayed in the sermons delivered after the end of the Council of Chalcedon. It is a continuing research project focused on the elaboration of the thoughts of this important Pope who significantly influenced the wording of the Confession of Faith at the Council of Chalcedon with his letter to Flavian, Archbishop of Constantinople (Tomus ad Flavianum). The study offers an analysis of sermons in the context of the liturgical calendar, focusing on whether and how Leo the Great perceived the two natures of the incarnated Word of God in his sermons. Conclusion: Experts focusing on the early Christian writings have recently paid more attention to the study of the sermons of the early Christian authors. In their letters and books, they used parts of sermons, which enables us to look at their spiritual way of thinking from the holistic point of view. This study is significant because of its essential importance concerning the research of early Christian spirituality as well as its contribution to the ongoing dialogue between the Catholic Church and the so-called non-Chalcedonian Churches.
