Johannes Zachhuber is Professor of Historical and Systematic Theology at the University of Oxford and Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford. He studied theology in Rostock, Berlin, and Oxford where he earned his DPhil in 1997. He has published Human Nature in Gregory of Nyssa (1999) and Theology as Science in Nineteenth-Century Germany (2013) as well as numerous articles mostly in the areas of late ancient Christianity and nineteenth-century theology.

This excellent book provides a thorough study-to my knowledge, the first of its kind-of the philosophical dimension of Christian doctrine in late antiquity...I think, the most important book on early Christian doctrine in the past decade or more. It is clearly written, though conceptually demanding, and thereby provides a needed model for how to study dogmatic theology's complex philosophical underpinnings.
