In Antioch, Nicaea, and the Synthesis of Constantinople, Dragoș Andrei Giulea delineates a new map of the theological trajectories involved in the fourth-century Christological debates, and envisions the solution of Constantinople 381 as a synthesis of the two theoretical paradigms produced at the councils of Antioch 268 and Nicaea 325. The author argues that the main theological trajectories participating in the debate were the Antiochene, the Arian, the Nicene, the Homoian, and the pro-Nicene.Giulea redefines the pro-Nicene theology, which dominated the discussions of Constantinople 381, as a synthesis of the most effective metaphysical categories of Antioch and Nicaea. Basil of Caesarea initiated the pro-Nicene synthesis by developing a dual Trinitarian discourse, simultaneously securing ontological individuality and divine unity.

"Brant Pitre argues that the historical Jesus saw himself as divine, leading to the emergence of high Christology among his early followers"-- "Did Jesus see himself as divine? Since the beginning of the quest for the historical Jesus, scholars have dismissed the idea that Jesus could have identified himself as God. Such high Christology is frequently depicted as an invention of the councils of Nicaea and Chalcedon, centuries later. Yet recent research has shown that the earliest Jewish followers of Jesus already regarded him as divine. Brant Pitre tackles this paradox in his bold new monograph. Pitre challenges this widespread assumption and makes a robust case that Jesus did consider himself divine. Carefully explicating the Gospels in the context of Second Temple Judaism, Pitre shows how Jesus used riddles, questions, and scriptural allusions to reveal the apocalyptic secret of his divinity. Moreover, Pitre explains how Jesus acts as if he is divine in both the Synoptics and the Gospel of John. Carefully weighing the historical evidence, Pitre argues that the origins of early high Christology can be traced to the historical Jesus's words and actions. Jesus and Divine Christology sheds light on long-neglected yet key evidence that the historical Jesus saw himself as divine. Scholars and students of the New Testament-and anyone curious about the Jewish context of early Christianity-will find Pitre's argument a necessary and provocative corrective to a critically underexamined topic"--

La science a beaucoup à dire sur qui fut Jésus de Nazareth. Dûment critiqués, les Évangiles rapportent sa vie et les découvertes d’une recherche archéologique hyperactive approfondissent chaque jour notre connaissance de la riche culture où il a déployé son action. C’est un paradoxe que la personnalité d’un homme du peuple ait à ce point capté l’attention de ses biographes et ouvert la voie à une passionnante recherche sur son identité, aux relents épiques d’une « quête du Graal » marquée par plus de deux siècles d’avancées et de retraites. Peut-être le temps d’une phase constructive est-il arrivé. En science, il n’existe pas de question taboue. Il est possible d’évaluer la prétention des évangélistes à se poser en historiens. Grecs et juifs pensaient selon un monothéisme à la fois inclusif et varié. Même la conscience de Jésus n’est pas un objet qui échappe à l’enquête : elle s’est structurée autour des Écritures. Elle est d’abord littéraire, voire linguistique. Essayer de comprendre qui est Jésus, et ce qu’on dit de lui, à partir des traces qu’il laisse dans son énonciation. Beau programme, raisonnablement optimiste.
