History of Dogmas: Volume I, The Antenicene Theology By Joseph Tixeront Kindle Edition History of Dogmas: Volume I, The Antenicene Theology Considered one of the important early 20th century histories of dogmas, this work demonstrates that the Catholic faith has essentially remained unchanged since the time of Christ; and that such continuity has only been possible because of the Roman Catholic Church, of which the Pope is its visible head. The History of Dogmas is the history not so much of doctrines in themselves, but of the Churchs successive definitions in regard to them. Still the two inquiries cannot in practice be separated, because what evokes the definitions is the action of the human mind on the doctrines of revelation, of its attempts to fathom their meaning profoundly and to fix it precisely, and of the oscillations and aberrations of thought which have been incident to this endeavor. Or, as Tixeront states the case: “Between the teaching of Jesus Christ or St. Paul and those of the Council of Nicaea or the Council of Trent, there is certainly no verbal resemblance, but there is equivalence and fundamental identity How then was the transition made from the Gospel and from St. Paul to the formulas of Nicaea and the Creed of Pius IV.? What course did Christian thought traverse in the evolution which brought it thus from the primordial elements of its doctrine to the blossoming forth of its theology These are the questions to which the History of Dogmas must respond.” Paraphrasing reviews of the work at the time of its publication in the early 20th century, “Tixeront is familiar with the entire range of the pertinent literature, early and recent. He goes back to the original sources, and sifts the latest speculations. Being a Catholic and a priest, he brings of course to his task the instincts of faith which unerringly discern the true teaching of the Church. On the other hand, being an expert critic and an accomplished historian, he is able to segregate the human and the traditional developments from the original divine germ and content, to point out the genuine providential evolution of doctrine in the midst of the manifold gropings and wanderings of the human mind. His work therefore, while solidly religious, is no less scientific and historical.” PLEASE NOTE that 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. Excerpt from History of Dogmas, Vol. 1: The Antenicene Theology There are some, perhaps, who would prefer to see the texts quoted exclusively from Mignes Greek and Latin Patrology, with the indication of the page and column, where they are to be found. Such a constraint I did not think it wise to impose on myself. For, in the first place, however useful and valu able Mignes editions are, they are not always faultless nor even sufficiently complete. Secondly, there are instances in which the works I referred to are divided into rather short sections, and then, the indication of the pages was thought superfluous. Still, such an indication is sometimes really use ful or even necessary, and when that is so, it will be given.
