Moreschini, Claudio: A Christian in Toga

Boethius: Interpreter of Antiquity and Christian Theologian. Moreschini focuses on selected and as yet still understudied aspects of Boethius‘ life and works. He presents Boethius in the culture of the sixth century in Italy, outlines his great cultural project and discusses the problem of his Christian faith. The Consolatio Philosophiae is examined from the point of view of Latin Platonism, highlighting the aims of its poetry and its philosophical tenets. Moreschini also shows how Boethius combined Christian faith and philosophy in order to solve theological issues, most notably the Christological debates of his times or the question of the Trinity. 155 Seiten, gebunden (Beiträge zur Europäischen Religionsgeschichte; Band 3/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2014) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
