Maximus the Confessor and his Companions: Documents from Exile

by Pauline Allen, Bronwen Neil

Overview

The seven documents in this book, which appear for the first time in an English translation from Greek and Latin, constitute a unique contemporary witness to the stalwart opposition of the monk Maximus the Confessor to seventh-century imperial edicts enforcing adherence to the doctrines of monoenergism and monothelitism.
