This volume is the first to focus exclusively on St. Maximus’ Chapters on Love. Its approach is multidisciplinary, bringing together theological, philosophical, and history‑of‑ideas perspectives.
The Chapters on Love (Capita de caritate) is a significant work of St. Maximus the Confessor that has, until now, not been the focus of sustained scholarly investigation. This volume presents a new English translation and offers a fresh vantage point on the theological vision of this major Christian thinker, illuminating his distinctive synthesis of the Gospel’s teaching on love with a deep and sophisticated engagement with Platonic and Neoplatonic philosophy. As the first volume to unite scholars from diverse academic traditions, it represents a pioneering effort to explore both the message and the historical reception of this foundational work.
