Editing Proclus of Constantinople (section)

=== Christology and Soteriology ===
Proclus' homilies present clear affirmations of the unity and duality of the natures of Christ in terminology Constas describes as "anticipating the language of [[Council of Chalcedon|Chalcedon]]". He taught a union of opposites, a union of natures where they remain unconfused, divinity clothed with humanity. While maintaining the two natures he stressed the personal unity of Jesus. For Proclus the [[Logos (Christianity)|Word]]-made-flesh dying sacrificially was essential to secure [[Salvation in Christianity|salvation]]; no mere man could pay the debt of sin, but man had sinned so man had to pay, necessitating the incarnation of God.{{r|constas|pages=60–69}}
