Introduction FROM THE FIRST century, the development of patristic Christology, both orthodox and heterodox, was the result of a collective reflection upon the identity and redemptive action of Jesus, the Logos, who was en arche and became incarnate at a specific point in the history of the cosmos. Likewise, the development of the patristic theory of askesis, tihe devout discipline of the Christian, beginning within the New Testament canon, was a discussion of how the Christian might, through his moral life, move toward the goal offered him by the Logos: conversion to, identification with, and eventual unification with Jesus Christ. This occurred by the means of progressive discipline and love in the company of other believers and employed methods older than Christianity itself. What made and makes Christian askesis unique as a U4 ROBIN DARLING YOUNG religious self-discipline is the personal identification of the believer with Christ. It is undeniable that Christolo~J, soteriology, and ascetical theory have been linked historically. The answer to the question , Who do men say that I am? (Mt. 16.13) will imply the form of the response to the divine imperative of follow me (:~11. 16.24,Q5). Those theologians of the early church who were blessed with consistency almost automatically adjusted their Christology and their moral theology. A concise statement of this connection may be found in Irenaeus's Against Heresis (5.18-20). [Christ] caused man to cleave to and to become one with God ... unless man had been joined to God, he could never have become a partaker of immortality. The result of the incarnation is the imperative .for human beings, now freed by the most holy and merciful Lord, [who] loves the human race (18.6), to model their actions after his (20.2) . Origen's Exhortation to 1Vlartyrdom recalls the earlier formulation of Paul when he refers to the mind of Christ within us (ch. 4) and states that Now it is revealed whether or not we have taken up our cross and followed Jesus. This will have happened if Christ is living in us (12) . The willingness to face martyrdom was the great test of Christ's inner presence : I think that they love God with all their soul who with a great desire to be in union with God withdraw and separate their soul not only from the earthly hody but from eveTything material (3) . Such an exhortation, which sees askesis as a preparation for martyrdom as well as a mode of life, had already been clear-·ly enunciated hy Ignatius (To the Ephesians, 4). Ignatius, called Theophoros (God-bearer), wrote that he had welcomed that beloved name of yours, earned through your natural righteousness in accordance with faith and love in Christ Jesus, our savior. Imitating God [incarnate] and inflamed by the blood of God [in the Eucharist] you accomplished your common task perfectly. EARLY CHRISTIAN ASCETICISM H5 Together with Paul, Ignatius left a legacy of early Christi .an opinion remarkable for the unity it proposes between Christ .and the Christian. Reflecting upon the incarnation, it understands Christ ,as redeemer and model for Christians. Although critical Biblical scholarship has for decades prescinded from a portrait of Christ himself, as opposed to the communities founded hy him, most early Christians considered him to have been a single, celibate person. They did not, of course, think of Christ as a monk in the later sense of the term, hut their insistence that the Christian moral life of ascesis and sacrifice ,be modeled upon Jesus' own life can he seen a:s preparing the way for such a view of Christ.
