The Virgin’s Child
View through CrossRef
This chapter claims that in 382–3, Gregory devoted increasing attention to the incarnation as such and therefore to the constitutive elements of Christ’s humanity, and that he did so in response to criticisms of his own previous writings. As before, his account of Christ’s saving work relies upon chains of biblical imagery and metaphors, but in the Antirrheticus against Apollinarius and other works such as Epistle 3, the point of transformation is placed at the nativity rather than merely after the passion. The model of mixture accordingly shifts away from one of humanity’s absorption into divinity. A new account is offered for the situation lying behind Epistle 3, and the connection of that work to both the Council of Constantinople in 382 and the dispute over Cyril of Jerusalem’s legitimacy.
