| Summary: | Though it was published in 1999 (and some of its findings had already appeared in articles in the 1980s), and though Marcellus, his opponents, and other aspects of the Arian controversy have been the subject of considerable further study since then, this lucid and straightforward monograph still deserves a belated notice in this journal. Lienhard offers a very clear summary of the theology of Marcellus’ Contra Asterium and of the responses to it in the writings of Eusebius of Caesarea, the eastern creeds of the period 341–51, and a number of anti-Sabellian (though actually anti-Marcellan) tracts of anonymous or doubtful authorship. |
