  • Ambrosiaster": a Fresh Suggestion
    224 THE IDENTITY OF THE "AMBROSIASTER": A FRESH SUGGESTION. THE name " Ambrosiaster " was invented by Erasmus to indicate the author of a Latin commentary on the thirteen Epistles of St. Paul, which has come down to us for the most part under the name of St. Ambrose. His rejection of Ambrosian authorship has been almost universally upheld by succeeding scholars, and a large number of guesses as to the real identity of the mysterious author have been put forward during the past four centuries. The bases for most of these were slender enough, and no names need be mentioned save Hilary the Luciferian deacon, Tyconius the Donatist 1 and Faustinus.2 Each of these names was sup­ ported with some show of argument, but the problem was still unsolved when in 1899 the world-famous French Bene­ dictine, Dom Germain Morin, O.S.B., of the Abbey, Mared­ sous, Belgium, pointed out a number of indications which seemed to him to favour the idea that one Isaac, a converted Jew concerned in the disturbances at the election of Pope Damasus, might have written the work. This view was made known to the readers of the EXPOSITOR in a graceful article by the Reverend A. E. Burn, entitled " The Ambro­ siaster and Isaac the Converted Jew" (1899, vol. ii., 368- 375). This opinion may be said to hold the field, as it has commanded the adhesion of Professors Theodor von Zahn, Joseph Wittig, and others. But in 1903 Dom Morin gave up his first suggestion in favour of a second, that the author was a distinguished proconsul of the day, Decimius Hilarianus Hilarius.

  • Chrysostom and Augustine on the Sin of Adam and Its Consequences
    "Chrysostom and Augustine on the Sin of Adam and its Consequences" A Study of Chrysostom's “Homily 10, On Romans” and Augustine's Interpretation of it in Contra Julianum by Fr. Panayiotis Papageorgiou, Ph.D. Presented at the Eleventh International Conference on Patristic Studies Oxford August 23, 1991 Published in the St. Vladimir's Theological Quarterly, Vol. 39 - No. 4, 1995 Introduction A detail, which for some may seem minor, regarding the meaning of “the sin of the first man” and its consequences, has separated the Eastern and Western theological traditions, from the time of St. Augustine. The majority of Eastern Fathers understood that the transgression of Adam caused the fall of humanity away from the grace of God, the introduction of death, pain, fear and suffering into our lives, and the introduction of the human defects1 into our nature.2 Augustine's understanding, on the other hand, was that all of the above are consequences of the fact that the sin of Adam and his guilt are transmitted, or propagated, through the act of procreation3 and are found in every person born. Hence, the sin of Adam defiles all humanity including children, who have no other sins of their own. Therefore, all human beings are condemned because of the sin of Adam (original sin), which they bring with them and for which they become responsible, unless they are baptized. Although, in his work Contra Julianum Pelagianum4 he examined some of the works of various Fathers, Eastern and Western, he still came to the conclusion that they all agreed with him.

  • Divine Acceptance of Sinners: Augustine's Doctrine Of
    Perichoresis Volume 12. Issue 2 (2014): 163-184 DOI 10.2478/perc-2014-0010 DIVINE ACCEPTANCE OF SINNERS: AUGUSTINE ’S DOCTRINE OF JUSTIFICATION DONGSUN CHO * Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary ABSTRACT. I argue that the bishop of Hippo taught sola fide , declarative justification, and the divine acceptance of sinners based on faith alone although he presented these pre-Reformational thoughts with strong emphasis on the necessity of growth in holiness (sanctification). Victorinus and Ambrosiaster already taught a Reformational doctrine of justification prior to Augustine in the fourth- century Latin Christianity. Therefore, the argument that sola fide and justification as an event did not exist before the sixteenth-century Reformation, and these thoughts were foreign to Augustine is not tenable. For Augustine, justification includes imputed righteousness by Christ ’s work, which can be appreciated by faith alone and inherent righteousness assisted by the Holy Spirit at the same time of forgiveness in justification. Nonetheless, the sole ground of the divine acceptance does not depend on inherent righteousness, which is real and to increase. The salvation of the confessing thief and the re- maining sinfulness of humanity after justification show Augustine that faith alone is the ground of God ’s acceptance of sinners. Augustine ’s relatively less frequent discussion of sola fide and declarative justification may be due to his need to reject the antinomian abusers who appealed to the Pauline un- derstanding of justification even when they do not have any intentional commitment to holiness after their confessions. Augustine ’s teaching on double righteousness shows considerable theological affinity with Bucer and Calvin who are accustomed to speak of justification in terms of double righteousness.

  • Statement of Significance
    A Translation, with Introductions and Notes, of Ambrosiaster’s Commentary on the Pauline Epistles Theodore de Bruyn, University of Ottawa, [email protected] Stephen Cooper, Franklin and Marshall College, [email protected] David G. Hunter, University of Kentucky, email forthcoming The aim of this project is to provide the first English translation of the Commentary on the Pauline Epistles, written by Ambrosiaster. “Ambrosiaster” (i.e., Pseudo-Ambrose) is the name coined in the sixteenth century to designate the author of the earliest complete commentary on the thirteen letters of Paul that had been widely attributed to the fourth-century Bishop Ambrose of Milan. The same author is now known to have also produced an extensive set of Questions on the Old and New Testaments, mistakenly ascribed in the Middle Ages to Augustine of Hippo. This anonymous biblical commentator flourished at Rome during the last decades of the fourth century and was most likely a member of the Roman clergy. It has long been acknowledged that Ambrosiaster’s commentary represents one of the finest products of biblical interpretation prior to the Reformation. The Pauline commentary was read with appreciation by numerous Latin writers, among them Augustine and Pelagius. Moreover, because of its attribution to Ambrose, the work exerted a significant influence during the Middle Ages, especially on the development of canon law (e.g., the Decretum of Gratian). Aside from its significance in the history of theology and exegesis, the commentary of Ambrosiaster is an important source of information on the social and religious history of fourth-century Rome. In the course of his discussions, Ambrosiaster commented on various heresies, relations between Christians and Jews, the survival of pagan rites and practices, the role of women in society, and the nature and variety of ecclesiastical offices.

  • Did the Early Church Absolutely Forbid Remarriage After Divorce?
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Institutional Repository UCAM DID THE EARLY CHURCH ABSOLUTELY FORBID REMARRIAGE AFTER DIVORCE? Fecha de recepción: 13 de abril de 2018 / Fecha de aceptación: 6 de junio de 2018 David G. Hunter University of Kentucky [email protected] Abstract: The possibility to remarry in the Catholic Church is still a matter of intense debate, also in the Latin Church. The historical-juridical research about the discipline of remarriage in the pre-Augustine writings and tradition demonstrates that the teaching of the complete indissolubility of marriage wasn't accepted by everyone, not even in the Western Church. The comment of Ambrosiaster to the Pauline teaching, in fact, demonstrates that the possibility to remarry wasn’t always excluded, at least not until Augustin’s teaching became the dominant tradition in the West. Keywords: divorce; remarriage; indissolubility of marriage; Ambrosiaster; Augustine. Riassunto: La possibilità di seconde nozze nella Chiesa cattolica è ancora oggi oggetto di un intenso dibattito, anche nella Chiesa di rito latino. L’indagine storico- giuridica sulla disciplina delle seconde nozze nella scrittura e nella tradizione pre- Agostiniana dimostra che l’insegnamento dell’assoluta indissolubilità del matrimonio non era uniformemente accolta, anche nella Chiesa occidentale. Il commento di Ambrosiaster all’insegnamento paolino, infatti, dimostra che la possibilità di seconde nozze non era sempre esclusa, almeno fino a quando l’insegnamento di Agostino diventò la tradizione dominante in occidente. Parole chiave: divorzio; seconde nozze; indissolubilità del matrimonio; Ambrosiaster; Agostino. 46 David G.

  • On the Context and Development of Augustine's
    Kazuhiko Demura Okayama, Japan [email protected] ON THE CONTEXT AND DEVELOPMENT OF AUGUSTINE’S EARLY COMMENTARIES ON THE PAULINE LETTERS Among the great number of le ers wri en in early Christian times, the le ers of St. Paul had the most signifi cant role and the greatest infl uence on the development of the Church, but their evaluation and interpretation diff ered from time to time throughout these early cen- turies. We learned about the reception of Pauline le ers in the fi rst and second centuries from Professor Manabu Tsuji’s opening lecture at the APECSS Conference in Sendai, 2009.1 We know that Pauline le ers were included into the Canon of the New Testament and read within Church communities; it can also be detected that Marcion, the Gnos- tics, and the Manicheans used Pauline le ers in order to support their dualistic perspective.2 In this developing period of the assessment of Paul, Origen of Alexandria had a decisive role in the fi rst half of the third century, exercising a strong infl uence on Athanasius of Alexan- dria in the early fourth century and on the establishment of the Canon of the New Testament.3 Here I would like to turn to the Latin West and to consider a re- markable fact, that the commentaries on the Pauline le ers were produced one a er another in the late fourth and early fi h century: Marius Victorinus, Ambrosiaster, Jerome, Tyconius as well as Rufi nus’ translation of Origen’s Commentaries on Romans were produced in this period.
