This volume examines the biblical hermeneutics of Maximus the Confessor (579/580-662). Although some aspects of the Confessor's hermeneutical approach had already been tackled, a comprehensive analysis was still missing. Accordingly, this book fills a gap in Patristic studies.
The study consists of three chapters. The first one deals with the logoi theory of Maximus being the ontological nucleus around which his whole theological thinking is organized. The second chapter examines Maximus' understanding of mystical ascension. Equipped with the "ontological" and "mystical" foundation, the third chapter analyzes thoroughly the hermeneutics of Maximus as such, attempting to show its coherence and rootedness in the general christological perspective of the Confessor.
This book will be of benefit not only for byzantinists and patrologists, but also for biblical scholars interested in the history of hermeneutics and exegesis as well as for historians of philosophy and medieval ideas.

'â¦impressive and substantial workâ¦a very illuminating reading of the hermeneutical method and system of Maximus the Confessorâ¦this book offers a very valuable set of insights into the dynamic and profoundly Christological character of Maximusâ hermeneuticsâ¦this book is certainly to be recommended.'

'Cette étude est soignée, honnête, repose sur une connaissance directe et attentive des textes de Maxime et témoigne dâune connaissance large et précise des études précédemment consacrées au grand théologien byzantin. Elle sera appréciée non seulement par les spécialistes de Maxime, mais par tout ceux qui sâintéressent à lâesprit et aux méthodes de lâexégèse biblique'

K proves himself to be able to reach highly interesting insights.... Consequently, this original study, which stresses the synthetical character of Maximus' hermeneutics, is an interesting read.
