In the year 399 CE, certain monks in Egypt were accused of 'anthropomorphism'—believing God has a body. But what did they really believe? In this comprehensive study, Paul A. Patterson shows that the 'anthropomorphites' were seeking, in their prayer life, the vision of the eternal, divine body of Christ.
