Two Dissertations (Classic Reprint): In Scripture and Tradition; On the 'Constantinopolitan' Creed and Other Eastern Creeds of the Fourth Century - Softcover
Synopsis
This book delves into a fundamental question of early Christian theology: the true reading of a single phrase in a crucial verse from the Gospel of John. The author meticulously examines the evidence for different interpretations of this phrase, drawing on a wide range of ancient manuscripts, versions of the text, and theological writings of the early Church Fathers. The bookâ s primary focus is on the word "monogenÄ s theos," translated as "only-begotten God," which appears in John 1:18. The author demonstrates how this phrase has been subject to debate and reinterpretation throughout the history of Christian thought, particularly in the fourth and fifth centuries during a period of intense theological discourse. The author's careful analysis reveals the complexities of textual transmission and interpretation, revealing how the use of this phrase and its variations influenced the development of Christian creeds and doctrine. The book also explores the ways in which theological biases can affect the reading and interpretation of ancient texts. Ultimately, this book provides a compelling and insightful look into the early development of Christian theology, challenging readers to engage with the texts and doctrines of the past with both intellectual rigor and historical awareness.
