| Summary: | This is a helpful and instructive exposition of Leo's account of Christ's work. Dr Armitage leaves aside biography and church politics to focus on aspects of Leo's preaching and teaching which deserve attention in addition to those more generally known and dealt with. He takes as his basis Leo's understanding of Christ's double consubstantiality and twofold solidarity given in the formula consubstantialis Patri, consubstantialis matri. Admittedly the formula itself does not appear often in Leo, but Dr Armitage convincingly demonstrates how important and pervasive in Leo's writings the idea is. |
