In recent years historians and theologians have focused
considerable attention on the church of late antiquity. The
Constantinian revolution of the early fourth century produced
changes that would affect profoundly and permanently the fabric of
traditional Greco-Roman society and early Christian spiritual life.
This volume--the third of the works of the Iberian Fathers in the
Fathers of the Church series--brings together writings from Pacian
of Barcelona and Orosius of Braga, two notable Iberian authors and
orthodox partisans of the turbulent late fourth and early fifth
centuries. Pacian, bishop of Barcelona, was renowned in his own day
for both his active ministry and his literary talents. Admired by
St. Jerome as an author ""of restrained eloquence,"" Pacian
produced several works, ranging from his correspondence with the
Novatianist Sympronian to his thoughtful treatises on penance and
baptism. Orosius, priest of Braga, was once considered noteworthy
principally for his authorship of the universalist Seven Books of
History against the Pagans and his student/mentor relationships
with St. Augustine of Hippo and St. Jerome. But, in addition, in
the two treatises translated here he furnishes mush insight into
the contemporary heretical movements in Spain and the course of
Peligian controversy. Included in this volume are Pacian's three
letters to the Novatianist Sympronian, his tract on repentance and
the rite of penance (On Penitents), and his sermon concerning
baptism (On Baptism). Orosius's works included the Inquiry or
Memorandum to Augustine on the Error of the Priscilliantists and
Origenists and the apologetic Book in Defense against the
Pelagians. Extensive notes and helpful introductions offer readers
further guidance and detail.
