Volume 2 A source-book of theological and historical passages from
the Christian writings of the Post-Nicene and Constantinopolitan
eras through St. Jerome. Volume 2 concludes with Julian of Eclanum
(d. 454). Volume 1: the Pre-Nicene and Nicene eras Volume 2: the
Post-Nicene era through St. Jerome; Volume 3: St. Augustine to the
end of the patristic period. The passages selected are keyed to the
numerical order established in M. J. Rouet de Journel's Enchiridion
Patristicum. In no sense, however, are these volumes a translation
of that standard work. The author has made his own investigation of
theological textbooks in common use and has selected the patristic
passages most frequently cited, including much that is in Rouet and
much that is not. All passages have been freshly and accurately
translated from the best critical editions. Preceding each
selection is a brief introduction treating the authorship, date and
place of composition, and the purpose of the work from which the
selection is taken. The author's scholarship and sprightly sense of
humor are evident in these prefatory remarks. Of immense value to
the reader is the Doctrinal Index provided for each volume. Here
one can find the texts pertinent to particular doctrinal points, a
method especially useful to homilists. In addition, each volume is
enhanced by comprehensive Scriptural and General Indices.
