History of Dogmas, Volume 2

Joseph Tixeront

4.9/5 (16671 ratings)

Description:The period in the history of dogma studied by Professor Tixeront in this, his second volume, opens with A. D. 318 and closes at 430—the “anti-Nicene period” having been treated in the first volume. It occupies thus the first portion of the Patristic age, a period of incessant theological activity, in which the fundamental mysteries of Christianity were passing through the “fires of controversy” and receiving their intellectual formulation. Arianism, Macedonianism, Apollinarianism; the Greek, the Syriac, the Latin writers, orthodox and heretic—the mere mention of such titles will suggest to the reader the immense fields of historical research and speculation covered by the century. The theology, moreover, of St. Augustine and the Pelagian heresy—these alone indicate subjects large enough for a large volume. But they are all unfolded, not only outlined, and treated with sufficient space to let one easily into the reality and with that perfect luminosity which belongs to the French scholar, be he theologian or savant. The method, as was noted in the first volume, is synthetic, the author seizing from above the salient outlines and features, whether of a system or a writer, and highlight them in bold relief, so that one readily visualizes the totalities. Thus in the chapter on St. Augustine one sees the whole of his theology in perspective from its sources to the Trinity, Creation, Christology, Ecclesiology, Grace, Sacraments, Eschatology: it is all there in total organism. Due to space limitations, the treatment of St. Augustine's controversial work stops with Pelagianism. The third volume will take up the suspended thread with Semi-Pelagianism. PLEASE NOTE that, as in Volume I, the bracketed letter “[G]" found in the text of this kindle edition represents words/phrases in Greek that were not digitally transcribed from the original text. Generally, the meaning of such Greek words/phrases can be easily discerned from the accompanying English text, and, therefore, their substitution with “[G]” does not significantly affect, diminish, or halt the flow of the English narrative. However, in those specific places in the text where the English meaning may not be so clearly discernible, the effort was made to insert the corresponding Greek words/phrases together with their approximate English translation in brackets.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
