Description for All Things New: The Trinitarian Nature of the Human Calling in Maximus the Confessor and Jurgen Moltmann
Paperback. A comparative study of the writings of Maximus the Confessor and Jurgen Moltmann, revealing how their understanding of the human being is underpinned by their Trinitarian and Christological theologies. Num Pages: 210 pages. BIC Classification: HRCM. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 231 x 153 x 19. Weight in Grams: 316.
