New Scholarly Volume Explores the Christology of Saint Basil the Great

A new volume in the Analecta OSBM series offers a significant contribution to theological scholarship with its focus on the Christology of Saint Basil the Great. The publication, titled The Christology of Basil of Caesarea in Its Historical-Theological Context, is authored by Deacon Methodius Soroka, OSBM, and has recently been released as part of the Basilian academic series (Analecta OSBM – Notes of the Order of Saint Basil the Great).

This monograph provides a comprehensive and thoughtful study of Saint Basil’s teaching on Christ, beginning with an overview of his life, including the influence of his close companions and mentors. By situating Basil within his historical and theological context, the author offers readers a deeper understanding of his writings, particularly within the broader framework of fourth-century Christological debates.

At the heart of the study is an in-depth exploration of Saint Basil’s doctrine on the divine and human natures of Christ, firmly grounded in Sacred Scripture and the tradition of the Nicene Council. Through careful analysis of Basil’s dogmatic works, the book highlights the richness and depth of his theological vision.

Drawing from a wide range of sources, this publication not only sheds light on the enduring importance of Saint Basil’s Christology but also opens avenues for further research in this important field of theological inquiry.

The volume is now available for purchase. To order a copy, please contact: [email protected].
