This one-day symposium takes its lead from Aaron Riches’ book Ecce Homo: On the Divine Unity of Christ (Eerdmans, 2016), which has been acclaimed as “one of the most substantial contributions to the subject of the past thirty years” (Janet Martin Soskice in The Times Literary Supplement). The symposium will explore the central argument of the book that the tradition shaped by the ecumenical councils of the first millennium, received in East and West, sheds light on the theological conversation today and leads to a fuller and richer understanding of the mystery of Christ.
