This book brings Maximus the Confessor’s logoi doctrine into
dialogue with modern-day evolutionary biology. It explores the extent
to which the logoi, as described by Maximus, exhibit features that are
concordant with evolution before going on to consider more discordant
aspects that cannot be ignored. The author addresses the curious
resonance between the logoi and evolution in a systematic way through
a close reading of primary textual material allied with a deep
understanding of both the classical Darwinian and ‘extended’
evolutionary syntheses. The study joins with other Maximian
interpreters in attesting to the incarnational and theophanic nature
of the logoi, but seeks to extend this distinctively Eastern
Christo-cosmology into the problematic territory of biological
evolution, a territory historically dominated by Western scholarship.
The book will be of interest to scholars of religion and science, as
well as Patristics and the Eastern Orthodox theological traditions.
