The third and final lecture in the Wisdom and Light series, presented jointly by the University of Notre Dame Australia and St Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Theological College, concluded with a fascinating presentation by Professor Bronwen Neil on Neither Male nor Female: Christ and Gender in the Cappadocians and Maximus the Confessor.

Professor Neil explored how early Christian understandings of the human person, embodiment and gender developed within the intellectual and theological world of the Eastern Roman Empire. Drawing on the Cappadocian Fathers, Theodoret of Cyrrhus and St Maximus the Confessor, the lecture considered the relationship between creation in the image of God, sexual differentiation, baptism, resurrection and the transformation of the human person in Christ.

At the heart of the presentation was a distinctively Byzantine theological vision. While the body participates in the process of deification, the ultimate goal of Christian life is not gendered identity itself, but participation in divine life through holiness and deification.

It was a fitting conclusion to a rich series of conversations bringing the theological traditions of East and West into dialogue, and strengthening the growing collaboration between Notre Dame and St Andrew’s.

The evening also featured a short epilogue. Professor Bronwen Neil and Dr Andrew Mellas’ recent publication, The Cambridge Companion to the Byzantine Church, was launched by Professor Peter Edwell who, among other things, highlighted the beautiful prologue that His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew wrote for the volume.
