Grace & Christology in the Early Church

David Fairbairn,  Grace & Christology in the Early Church,  2003 : How did the early Church understand the relation between grace, salvation, and the person of Christ? Donald Fairbairn's persuasive study shows that, despite intense theological controversy, there was in fact a very strong consensus in the fifth century about what salvation was and who Christ needed to be in order to save people. This consensus can serve as a standard by which to judge the varied pictures of Christ which coexist in the contemporary Church.1 Grace and the central issue of the christological controversy2 Christ as the uniquely graced man in Theodore and Nestorius3 Grace as the sharing of divine communion in Cyril's early writings4 God's own Son as the source of grace in Cyril's later writings5 Grace as deepening communion with God in Cassian's monastic writings6 Grace and the Saviour's personal subject in Cassian's De incarnatione Domini7 Grace and the Logos' double birth in the early Church.
