Part of the "Sources of Early Christian Thought" series, The Christological Controversy is a collection of texts designed to illustrate the development of Christian thought about the person of Christ in the patristic era. The earliest text translated (Melito's "Homily on the Passover") comes from the latter half of the second century, when the ideas and problems which were to dominate Christological thought in this period were first solidified. The latest is the well-known "Definition of the Faith" of the Council of Chalcedon (AD451), which generally has been accepted as defining the limits of Christological orthodoxy.
