This authoritative examine explores Eustathius of Antioch's theological anthropology, supplying perception into some of the most vital thinkers of the early Arian controversy. Sophie Cartwright situates Eustathius' inspiration on the subject of the early 'Arian' controversy, the Constaninian Revolution, the theological legacies of Irenaeus and Origen, and the philosophical statement culture. She additionally locates Eustathius inside his ancient context and gives a detailed
overview of the resources for his advanced and fragmented corpus.

Eustathius' anthropology is indebted to a practice formed by means of the theology of Irenaeus, that had already come into dialog with Origen. Dr Cartwright means that Origen's personal inspiration was once indebted to Irenaeus yet that he had a extensively varied cosmology; this formed next engagement with either thinkers. Eustathius' theology of embodiment attracts on Irenaeus, against what he perceives because the Origenist and Platonist anthropology which, in his anti-Arian works, he associates
with Eusebius of Caesarea. even if, he's deeply indebted to Origen for his doctrine of Christ's human soul and, accordingly, his wider psychology. He locations humanity at a good distance from God and seeks to offer humanity self sufficient worth, in particular in his discourse on God's photo. This represents
one logical negotiation of the rejection of Origen's everlasting intelligible international. Eustathius' divisive Christology bargains an image of Christ because the excellent man or woman that echoes Irenaeus' Adam-Christ typology, fleshed out by means of an Origenian discourse on Christ's human soul and infused with a willing knowledge of the chasm among God and humankind. He proffers a doctrine of inherited sinfulness in its place to Origen's doctrine of the autumn and appears to a corporeal eschatological nation ruled
over by way of the human Christ; this eschatology most likely displays discomfiture with Constantine's position within the church.
