He shows how this doctrine played a significant role in the thought of Cyril of Alexandria (d. 444), Thomas Aquinas (1224-74), and Zacharias Ursinus (1634-83) and that the doctrine on the whole passed from the theological scene by the end of the 19th century due in part to shifts in metaphysics and theological method and a growing weariness of theological divisions in the church. He also describes contemporary efforts to recover the doctrine and suggests some ways to use it in Christian theology. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
