Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the Councils of the Church, Vol. 3: From the Original Documents The Author´s Preface to this portion of his work has already appeared in the second volume of the English Translation. He there remarks that this History "becomes in many ways very like a history of the Church and of dogmas, which will be no prejudice to it." This is, of course, the exact truth of the matter, and it is the chief interest of the work. The History of the Councils differs from that of Doctrines in dealing only with those questions which come formally before the Church in her Synods. Both are of inestimable value, and of absolute necessity, to all who aspire to the name of theologian. In the present volume this view of the subject is made more prominent than in any other; as the whole of its contents, with some slight exceptions, refer to the controversy respecting the Person of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, in the two great conflicts of the Church with Nestorianism and Eutychianism. It begins with an account of the rise of the former, and ends with the condemnation of the latter at the great Synod of Chalcedon. Consequently, this volume possesses an interest which attaches to hardly any other, and is marked by an unity which is seldom attainable in historical narrative. The Author has felt throughout that the subject was vital to the Church of Christ then and now, and he has spared no pains to bring the resources of his vast learning to bear upon the elucidation of his theme. As a result, we know nearly everything that can be known respecting the heresies of Nestorius and Eutyches, and the reason of their rejection by the Catholic Church. Considerable light is thrown by this volume upon two subjects which have been much debated of late - the Athanasian Creed and the relation of the Pope of Roome to the Christian Church.
