About this book

This volume is the first critical edition of the theological fragments of Asterius of Cappadocia, the so-called Arian Sophist, who lived in the early fourth century.
The first part of the volume provides an introduction to the theological thought of Asterius, an important member of the "Eusebians". It also compares the theological thought of Asterius with Origen's and Arius' theology. The second part consists of the 77 theological fragments of Asterius of Cappadocia with a German translation.
In the third part a commentary is given for each fragment explaining the content, the language and also the authenticity of the texts.

Reviews

'Die Erweiterung der Textgrundlage und deren kritische Eidtion ist von unschätzbarem Wert.'
Gerhard Feige, Theologische Literaturzeitung, 1994.
'...rendra le plus grand service aux chercheurs dans un domaine où subsistent encore tant d'incertitutes.'
A. de H., Revue d'Histoire Ecclésiastique, 1993.
'...the process of sorting out the thinkers corporately damned as Arians is a very useful one, and it has been significantly advanced by this book.'
Stuart G. Hall, Journal of Theological Studies, 1995.
'...mit ihrem systematischen Anliegen [...] sucht sie zurecht die verschiedenen Details in einen inneren Zusammenhang zu setzen und stellt in dieser Hinsicht eine spekulative Leistung dar, die sich an die historisch überlieferten Einzelheiten gebunden weis.'
K.-H. Uthemann, Vigiliae Christianae, 1995.
