Description
This book offers a comprehensive exploration of Maximos the Confessor’s theological treatment of androprimacy and sexual difference within the context of early Christian literature. Luis Josue Sales examines how this seventh-century Byzantine theologian addressed fundamental questions about gender, sexuality, and human nature through his philosophical and theological writings.
The study contextualizes Maximos’s ideas within the broader patristic tradition while highlighting his unique contributions to understanding sexual difference in Christian thought. Sales investigates key theological concepts including the imago Dei, ascetic practices, and the nature of human embodiment as they relate to gender. This Element provides scholars and students of early Christianity with critical insights into how classical Christian theology engaged with questions of sexual identity and gender hierarchy that remain relevant to contemporary theological discourse.
