The Creed Explained: Or An Exposition Of Catholic Doctrine According To The Creeds Of Faith And The Constitutions And Definitions Of The Church (1903) - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
Catholic truth by explaining Catholic doctrine as contained in the Creeds, and as it is denned and interpreted by the Church. It contains the summary and substance of lectures and instructions which for several years I have been accustomed to give to students and pupils ;and in it I have endeavoured to explain the twelve Articles of the Creed, as well as the more recent definitions and declarations of the Church on matters of faith as contained in the decrees of the Vatican Council, and the constitutions of the Sovereign Pontiffs. I have not thought it necessary to make the work in any sense a controversial one, because I believe that a clear and accurate exposition of Catholic doctrine is the best means of promoting its knowledge, and the best remedy against misrep resentations, and the dishonest criticisms of our adversaries; and also the best refutation of the many false theories of Christianity against which we have to contend, in order to guard the true doctrine of Christ, and make it known to the people. In the manner of treating the subject, I first give an introductory treatise on the virtue of faith, together with the full text of all the Creeds that are approved by the Church, and professed by the faithful. A fterwards, I give the text of the Apostles Creed and of the Nicene Creed at the head of each Article as the subject of the instructions and explanations which follow. In the explanation of the Articles I state the doctrine, explain its meaning, and then give the proofs of its truth, taken from the usual Theological sources Sacred Scripture, Tradition, the definitions of the Church, the authority of Fathers and Theologians, and reason.
