The Neopythagorean Revival
This chapter discusses several developments in the slow development of Neopythagorean theologies during the period known as Middle Platonism. Around the turn of the first millennium, Eudorus of Alexandria and Moderatus of Gades innovated an approach to first philosophy deliberately organized around serial emanations of the divine One, described today as “henology” in distinction from ontology. Its religious potential was plumbed in succeeding gen…
Mathematical Theologies
This book uncovers the lost history of Christianity’s encounters with Pythagorean religious ideas before the Renaissance. The writings of Thierry of Chartres (d. 1157) and Nicholas of Cusa (d. 1464) represent a robust Christian Neopythagoreanism that reconceived the Trinity and the Incarnation within the framework of Greek number theory. Platonist theologies of the divine One and the decad had developed slowly between the Old Academy and Plotinus…

Mystical Philosophy in the Fifteenth Century
Nicholas of Cusa (1401–1464) is one of the most fascinating Christian authors of the fifteenth century. His vision of an immanent God in an infinite universe weaves together some of the most vibrant strands of medieval Christian mysticism. Although his diverse writings are difficult to classify, they can be understood as a kind of mystical philosophy. While older patterns of research on Nicholas of Cusa separated the medieval and modern aspects o…
Without Nature?
Does “nature” still exist? Common wisdom now acknowledges the malleability of nature, the complex reality that circumscribes and constitutes the human. Weather patterns, topographical contours, animal populations, and even our own genetic composition—all of which previously marked the boundary of human agency—now appear subject to our intervention. Some thinkers have suggested that nature has disappeared entirely and that we have entered a postna…
On "The Gift" in Tanner's Theology
Kathryn Tanner's theology of “the gift” is examined and contrasted with that of John Milbank. To clarify the relation between spiritual and material gifts implied in Tanner's thought, as well as the role of “nature”, the author revisits patristic commentaries on the Lord's Prayer regarding “the gift” of daily bread. Differing interpretations by Origen and Gregory of Nyssa resemble differences obtaining between Tanner and Milbank; Maximus the Conf…
