"This book likely served as the foundation for Farrell's longer work, God, History and Dialectic. Farrell gives an extended analysis upon St Maximus the Confessor's defense of two wills in Christ. In doing so, he carefully examines neo-Platonic philosophy, particularly its equation of distinction = opposition, and the influence it had on later Origenist, Monothelete, and Augustinian theologies."
