Theological masterwork by Saint Maximus the Confessor; a series of 'difficulties' (ambiguities) addressing hard passages in Dionysius the Areopagite and Gregory of Nazianzus; explores theosis, cosmology, Christology, and the logoi of creation in extraordinary philosophical depth.
One of the most sophisticated texts in Byzantine theology; synthesizes Dionysian mysticism with Cappadocian theology and Chalcedonian Christology; develops the doctrine of theosis and the logoi (divine intentions in creation) that became foundational to Eastern Orthodox thought; directly influenced John of Damascus and Gregory Palamas.
