Zeitschrift für Klassische Philologie, Patristik und lateinische Tradition
Sedulius’s theology is rooted in St. John’s Gospel and espouses an advanced Christology in which the Biblical Jesus is regarded as true God in consubstantial unity with the Father. Following this tradition, developed in the first centuries of Christianity, Sedulius describes Christ’s encounters with the element water during His immersion in the River Jordan (carm. pasch. 2, 139 – 174), on the occasion of the calming of the storm (3, 46 – 69), and when walking on the water (3, 219 – 235), viewing them as the great Creator’s engagement with His creation, which, though inanimate, nonetheless recognizes Christ as its Creator and glorifies Him as its Lord in reverential and joyous obedience.
