Addressing the major early Christological heresies, he discusses both the divine gifts but also the divine nature of Christ, citing His titles of divinity and His divine attributes such as eternity, immortality, omnipotence, and others. ChristâÇÖs assumption of humanity and all its essential properties is also addressed. In the latter sections of the book, Gerhard dwells on the particulars of the communication between natures in the hypostatic union, further suggesting a communication of properties.About This SeriesTheáTheological Commonplacesáseries is the first-ever English translation of GerhardâÇÖs monumental Loci Theologici.
