A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Nicene Creed is at last emerging from obscurity. The old theory that the Creed of the Council of Nicsea of 325 A.D. was slightly altered and enlarged at the Council of Constantinople in 381 A.D., is still maintained in most of the text-books on the Prayer Book, and has recently found support from a learned Professor of the Eastern Orthodox Church.1 But its foundations have been undermined by recent research. It was a French scholar, Denys Petau, better known as Petavius (+ 1052), of Paris, who first pointed out that our Nicene Creed had been quoted by the historian S. Epiphanius some seven years before the Council of Constantinople. But it was reserved for an English scholar, Professor Hort,2 two centuries later, to discern the importance of the argument which may be built up on that fact. In his brilliant Dissertation he proved that the Creed thus quoted by S. Epiphanius was a Revision of the Creed of the Church of Jerusalem, most probably revised and enlarged by Bishop Cyril, who inserted a section taken out of the Creed of the Nicene Council. S. Cyril srevised Creed was in some way or other approved by the Council of Constantinople, and came up again for discussion at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 A.D. side by side with the original Nicene Creed 1S ee p. 27. 2T wo Dissertations, Cambridge and London,
