Maximus the Confessor (around 580-662) is one of the great Greek church fathers. In recent decades he has also attracted attention in the West. His defense of the truly human will of Christ, his synthetic power, which makes him a culmination of various theological currents in the East, and his speculative depth are particularly attractive. In the Chapters on Love, which draw heavily on Evagrius’ practical teaching, Maximus the Confessor lays the foundations of the spiritual life, indeed of a Christian art of living.


In den Vier Centurien uber die Liebe, die stark aus Evagrius’ praktischer Lehre schopfen, legt Maximus Confessor (um 580-662) die Grundlagen des geistlichen Lebens, ja einer christlichen Lebenskunst.
