Andrew Louth is Professor of Cultural History at Goldsmiths' College. He is the author of many works on the Christian tradition, among them Eusebius: The History of the Church (1989) and The Wilderness of God (1991)
"This is probably the best single-volume, general introduction to
the Confessor available in English today."
-"St Vladimir's Theological Quarterly, Nov 1998
"The chief merit of this work...is to make a significant number of
Maximus's writings available in English translation.... Louth is to
be congratulated for his clear and faithful renderings of some of
the most difficult Greek theological works of late aniquity....
This is an excellent introduction to the theology of Maximus. It
will be of interest to both students and specialists in the area of
church history, Christology, anthropology, spiritulaity, medieval
exegesis, and Byzantine studes."
-"Anglican Theological Review
"Andrew Louth...recounts his life, the upheavals through which he
lived, the sources of his theology...and his teachings on the
person of Christ "Heiser, Fall 1997."
"Louth's "Maximus the Confessor contributes to our understanding of
Maximus in two important ways: he translates for the first time
into English several texts wherein Maximus addresses critical
theological issues, and he introduces the reader lucidly and
succinctly to Maximus's complex manner of thinking and his
theological system."
-"The Journal of Religion
