About This Book

A collection of short Latin dissertations applying textual criticism and theological analysis to patristic materials and creedal language. The essays probe the structure and manuscript tradition of a disputed Oration long associated with Athanasius, arguing it is a composite of fragments addressing Marcellian, Photinian, and Sabellian themes rather than a single continuous polemic against Arianism. Related pieces examine the Ecthesis against Paul of Samosata and the specific vocabulary of Nicene anathemata, using codicological comparison and close reading to assess authorship, genre, and doctrinal intent.

About the Author

Newman, John Henry portrait

John Henry Newman

John Henry Newman (1801-1890) was an influential English theologian and poet, known for his profound contributions to Christian thought and literature. Originally an Anglican priest, he converted to Roman Catholicism in 1845, becoming a cardinal in 1879. His works often explore the relationship between faith and reason, with notable titles including "Apologia pro vita sua," which defends his conversion, and "An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine," where he articulates his views on the evolution of religious belief. Newman’s literary legacy also includes poetry and sermons, reflecting his deep spiritual insights and commitment to education.
