by St John of Damascus (Author), Nico Hatzi (Translator), D. P. Curtin (Translator)

John of Damascus' discourse addresses the theological conflict with Nestorianism, asserting the understanding of the Trinity as one essence in three hypostases and the nature of Christ as having two perfect natures-divine and human-united in one hypostasis. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining the distinctiveness of each nature while avoiding confusion or division, explaining the implications of Christ's incarnation and the relationship between the natures and the hypostasis. The discourse concludes by affirming the necessity of adhering to the revealed truths of Scripture regarding the nature of God and Christ.
