Maximus the Confessor and his Companions provides English translations of seven documents from the seventh century which recount the legal trials, banishment, and deaths of Maximus the monk, his disciples and friends, and Pope Martin I.

The seven documents in this book, which appear for the first time in an English translation from Greek and Latin, constitute a unique contemporary witness to the stalwart opposition of the monk Maximus the Confessor to seventh-century imperial edicts enforcing adherence to the doctrines of monoenergism and monothelitism.

... an impressive addition to Professor Chadwick's series Oxford Early Christian Texts, and a timely contribution to the growing range of research tools which afford better access to the world of this irrepressible saint.
