A study of the metaphysics and semantics of Christology between 1050 and 1250 that discusses figures such as Anselm of Canterbury, Hugh of St Victor, Peter Lombard, and Bernard of Clairvaux.

Richard Cross explores the largely uncharted territory of seventeenth-century Christology, paying close attention to its metaphysical and semantic presuppositions and consequences. He shows that theologians of all stripes develop and expand theories that are associated respectively with the medieval theologians Thomas Aquinas and Duns Scotus.

This innovative work offers a radical reinterpretation of the sixteenth-century Christological debates between Lutheran and Reformed theologians on the ascription of divine and human predicates to the person of the incarnate Son of God (the communicatio idiomatum).
