| Summary: | This provocative book benefits from very clear (and oft-repeated) theses which, in some important respects, edge towards a more nuanced comprehension of the reception of Nicaea. The monograph sets the arguments in the long shadow of Origen: not only (as may be predicted) having an impact upon Eusebius, but also upon Athanasius, who becomes, in Robertson's narrative, an authentic exegete of much of Origen's work., Robertson's lens to focus his study is the notion of mediation (and theologies of the nature of the divine image), and he successfully maintains his focus on this whilst dealing in some detail with diverse material. This is an impressive achievement. |
