Während die deutsche Malerei der Nachkriegszeit wesentlich mit Vergangenheitsbewältigung beschäftigt war und diese in heroischen bis ironischen Gesten präsentierte, geht es bei Daniel Richter um Gegenwartspositionierung. Immer wieder entwickelt er neue Wege, »modern« in einem Medium zu sein, dem seit langem das Etikett des Altmodischen anhaftet. Seine Bilder verlangen den Betrachtern durch ihre malerische und inhaltliche Überforderung immer wieder alles ab, ohne aber je belehrend zu werden. An mehr als 200 Werkbeispielen zeichnet Eva Meyer-Hermann erstmals die chronologische Entwicklung von Richters Schaffen nach. Die bislang eher als abrupt beschriebenen Wenden von abstrakt zu figurativ und wieder zurück erweisen sich dabei als logische Konsequenz und Akte bewussten künstlerischen Handelns.Dieses Buch ist auch auf Englisch erhältlich.

DANIEL RICHTER (*1962, Eutin) gehört seit mehr als zwanzig Jahren zu den wichtigsten und international bekannten Malern seiner Generation. Seine Anfänge im linksautonomen Untergrund und ein erst spät aufgenommenes Studium bei Werner Büttner an der Hochschule der bildenden Künste in Hamburg haben ebenso zu seinem Ruf beigetragen wie seine eloquente Präsenz in der Öffentlichkeit.

A crucial theologian at the crux of the clash of various constructions of the Crucified Lord's two natures.
Format: Paperback
Cyril of Alexandria (c. 376 – 444) is arguably one of the most important theologians on the development and clarification on Christology in the Church Tradition. Following on the heels of Athanasius and the Cappadocian Fathers, Cyril was the integral figure in hammering out the heresy of Nestorianism (a rough outline of Nestorianism: the belief that Jesus Christ is composed of two persons or, using Nestorians’ terminology, ‘two sons’–one divine and the other human. This strong dichotomy jeopardizes core tenants of Christianity: the uniqueness of Jesus, salvation brought up by God, the role of the Spirit in believers, etc).
On the Unity of Christ is penned by the mature Cyril amassing and curtly arranging his thoughts in dialectical conversation. Here, Cyril is battling all kinds of heresies: Nestorianism, Arianism, adoptionism, Apollinarianism, and Eutychianism. It is a testament of his superior rhetoric to say so much against so many with such few words. This work, therefore, is an absolute essential reading for Christology.

It’s just as expected
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
For some reason St Cyril of Alexandria’s writings aren’t on New Advent. Or at least I couldn’t find them on there. It arrived just as expected 👍

Good Theological Resource.
Format: Paperback
Good theological resource but the book was tiny and the text is all jumbled together.

Cyril of Alexandria's mystical understanding of Christ was holistic and non-dual!
Format: Paperback
I can't say enough about this book. It was the inspiration behind my book! It showed me that the West has settled for a static dualistic interpretation of the person of Christ. Cyril of Alexandria opened the mystical door to a wholly other approach. Cyril of Alexandria's mystical understanding of Christ was holistic and non-dual. For Cyril Jesus is undivided: "at once God and human." Jesus, according to Cyril, is about creative tension, paradox, and complex dynamism. It is the dynamic unity of Christ espoused in this book that gave me the hope of a holistic vision taking hold of the Church once again. It gave me the hope for a core mystical theology that has the power to unite a divided Church. Cyril's holistic Christology is preserved today in the Oriental Orthodox Church's Miaphysite theology, which I attempted to make vital and contemporary in my book.
-Amos Smith (author of Healing The Divide: Recovering Christianity's Mystic Roots)

Great read!
Format: Kindle
It was long, but it was worth it! Cyril does a great job breaking down the orthodox belief of the person of Christ!
