Description

Written in the 8th century at the end of Juan Damasceno's life, "Exposición de la fe" is a comprehensive synthesis of theology. Spanning 100 chapters, it condenses the great mysteries of Christianity.

The work is divided into two main parts: the treatise on the inner life of God and the treatise on the economy, or the redemptive design of God. The latter includes a discussion of creation and humanity, which serves as a foundation for understanding Christology. According to Damasceno, without a clear understanding of human nature, it is impossible to grasp the nature of Christ.

This influential work has had a lasting impact on Christian theology, with its structure and method followed by many prominent authors across the East and West. Written in a spirit of reverence for tradition and scripture, "Exposición de la fe" remains an important contribution to the development of Christian thought.
