Abstract:

“Church Fathers” is a meaningful term from the perspective of the Vietnamese language. Giao means to teach; Phu means father. Church Father means to consider a teacher as one's father; a respected teacher. When combining the word Church Father into the historical context of the Church during this period, we can understand that Church Father means clergy or lay people who are Christian authors of the early centuries, who perceived, developed, and disseminated theological treatises, had exemplary lives, and were recognized by the Church as Church Fathers. The period of the Church Fat

Abstract:

The article presents the criteria according to which one person can be considered «Father of the Church» and who are the Fathers of the Church. It also presents the main characteristics of the Fathers of the Church and the reasons to consider St. Augustine a Father of the Church. Within this argument, his loyalty to the Church is stressed, and also his ability to transmit and to make an interpretation of the Gospel, according to the tradition of the Catholic Church.

Abstract:

In The Apostolic Fathers and the New Testament, Clayton addresses five issues, namely, the historical setting of the church father literature, the genre and setting in life of the church father literature, the ethics, and faith in the church father teaching, the struggle of the church fathers concerning the opposition from the Jewish and Gentile society, the influence of some churches in the second century. After observing the historical setting of church fathers, Jefford concludes that the letter of Ignatius was written ca., 107-109 AD from Asia Minor; the letter of Polycarp was written ca.,

Abstract:

The article traces the formation of Eastern Christian anthropology as a new religious and philosophical tradition within the Early Byzantine culture. The notion “Patristics” is reasoned as a corpus of ideas of the Church Fathers, both Eastern and Western. The term “Eastern Patristics” means the works by Greek-Byzantine Church Fathers, who in the theological disputes with the Western Church Fathers elaborated the Christian creed. Based on an analysis of the texts of Greek-Byzantine Church Fathers, the most important provisions of Eastern Patristics are deduced and discussed, which determined th

Abstract:

Abstract Scholarly study of the biblical exegesis of the church fathers has increased significantly. However, authors of contemporary commentaries are little influenced by patristic exegesis. This lack of influence flows from a number of factors. Most commentaries are written by biblical scholars who are formed by the modern tradition of historical-critical analysis. The few theologians who write commentaries have their own modern habits of mind that tend toward conceptual abstraction. Both types of modern scholar tend to make different assumptions about the Bible and the purposes of exegesis

Abstract:

Hubmaier's appeal to the fathers was inspired by humanist principles, especially ad fontes, restitutionism, and rejection of scholastic syllogism and glosses in favour of full, humanist editions of the fathers based on an improved focus on grammar and philology. However, Hubmaier confessionalized Humanism by commandeering its disciplines, principles, and accomplishments to advance a reforming program that centred around credobaptism and freedom of the will. This confessionalization of Humanism is reflected also in the way Hubmaier exploited a perceived Nicodemism in the disparity between Erasm

As a fervent scholar, translator, and ardent monk, Father Seraphim Rose navigated the complexities of modernity, while, passionately advocating for the eternal truths, embedded in Orthodoxy.

Abstract:

The key characteristic of the Orthodox Church, expressed in the Nicene Creed, is that the Church is one, holy, conciliar and apostolic. Although it consists of many local churches, which have their own national characteristics and independent governance, the Orthodox Church is nevertheless one in spirit, faith and equality of power. This goal of this paper is to examine conciliarity as the key principle on the basis of which the Orthodox Church governs itself since its inception, which is based on the Holy Scriptures, the Holy Tradition, the teaching of the holy Apostles, the decisions of the

Dante Alighieri wasn’t just a poet, a philosopher, and a theologian too, as demonstrated by Franke (1996; 2021; 2023). In fact, he was also a politician (Brando, 2023). In Italy, Dante was interpreted as an example by many movements. The Church, fighting modernism, praised him in the Manifesto medievalista (1914) by Gemelli (Bocci, 2011; Rossi, 2014). Pope Benedict XV, with In praeclara summorum (1921), ordered all Catholic schools to study Dante, ‘the most eloquent bard of Christian thought’.

Schleiermacher intended to show that the doctrine of the Holy Trinity cannot be regarded as a di- rect restatement of revelation. According to him, triadology has no ex- istential consequences.
