About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Sermons of Leo the Great, Bishop of Rome, by Leo the Great. Read by Jonathan Lange. Leo the Great was unanimously elected Bishop of Rome on September 29, 440 a.d. At the Council of Chalcedon, his famous "Tome" was a decisive contribution to the Christological controversies of the fifth century. But the Tome did not stand alone. It was written in the context of over two decades of pastoral sensitivity. This collection of sermons is the best way to let Leo himself unpack the nuances and power of Chalcedonian Christology according to one of its most influential proponents. (Introduction by Jonathan Lange)
