Stephen Langton on the Harmony of Wills in Christ. A Critical Edition of Theological Question 61

Journal Title: Przegląd Tomistyczny - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue

Abstract

This article offers a critical edition of the theological question De duabus uoluntatibus Christi (q. 61) by the Parisian theologian and Archbishop of Canterbury Stephen Langton, a figure of the early thirteenth century. The question regards the motivations and other psychological and ethical aspects of Christ’s prayer in Gethsemane. The author’s goal is to explain why there was no conflict of wills in Christ even though his rationality and sensitive appetite wanted two opposite things, namely to obey the Father and to live. The text has been preserved in three different versions. The edition of the three texts is preceded by a philological analysis of the relations among the versions and among the manuscripts that have transmitted them.
