Sextus's Sentences are a collection of ethical aphorisms which for
centuries were read in Latin, Greek, Syriac and Armenian, by
Christians from Britain to Mesopotamia. Who 'Sextus' was, and
whether he was a Christian, is not certain; Dr Chadwick discusses
the evidence, including some he has discovered himself. But the
Sentences, probably written in the second century, were widely read
in Jerome's time, and were still treated as authoritative in the
Middle Ages. They are an important strand in the history of the
development of Christian ethics, and are yet another example of
that dialogue between the Greek and the Jewish which so profoundly
affected the development of the young religion. Dr Chadwick first
provides a critical edition of the Greek and Latin texts. There
follow studies of the moral teaching of Sextus, the evidence of
Origen, the testimony of Rufinus and Jerome, and the internal
evidence provided by the texts.
