Eunomius of Cyzicus and the Nicene Revolution, Hardcover by Vaggione, Richard Paul, ISBN 0198146787, ISBN-13 9780198146780, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK The study of 'Arianism' has proved one of the abiding fascinations and the abiding problems of early Christian studies in recent years. Here, Vaggione addresses the definition of the doctrine and why it generated such intense social turmoil by examining the standpoint of one of 'Arianism's' principal supporters, Eunomius of Cyzicus. Eunomius' life is used as a framework within which to discuss changes in the doctrine of the Trinity.

Product Information

Full and fascinating... Vaggione's study is to be welcomed. The Expository Times 'Dr Vaggione's book is the first to provide a full survey of the issues, doctrinal and church-political, involved in the rise and fall of Anomean theology and of its relation to the Nicene settlement... Dr Vaggione has read his sources with great subtlety and uses what you might think meagre materials to considerable effect.' -ADAMANTIUS (Journal of the Italian Research Group on 'Origen and the Alexandrian Tradition' 'A distinguished and most learned study.' -Journal of Ecclesiastical History 'Full and fascinating... Vaggione's study is to be welcomed.' -Expository TimesThe doctrine of the Trinity has been central to Christian faith since the fourth century, but it is often the cause of more confusion than understanding. The author here overcomes this by looking at it from the point of view of one who vehemently rejected it. Eunomius of Cyzicus was condemned as a heretic during his lifetime in the fourth century and after. Richard Paul Vaggione uses Eunomius' life to examine how the whole Christian community, including ordinary men and women, helped determine how this often abused doctrine was - and is - understood.
