The letter was written by Eusebius of Caesarea to his congregation, explaining why he and the others fully embraced and consented to the initial creedal formulation of Nicaea. In so doing, Eusebius is shown to be a Trinitarian who did not teach that the Son and the Spirit are creatures which were brought into being from nothing (creatio ex nihilo). All emphasis will be mine.

I continue from where I left off from Book II of Origen’s commentary on John: Origen: Trinity, Creatio Ex Nihilo & the Church as Spiritual Israel.

In this post I will cite from a letter of St. Ignatius, the holy martyr of Christ and the Bishop of Antioch, being an eyewitness and pupil of the holy Apostles, who learned the faith directly from them. Ignatius testifies that Christ was raised in his physical, fleshly body, which he has now made immortal. All emphasis will be mine.

When Linnea was younger, she would attend a Christian summer camp in western Michigan, far outside of the liberal bubble of her Shaker Heights neighborhood in Cleveland, Ohio. Now a 19-year-old student at Case Western University, Linnea had grown up attending a progressive, mission-oriented Protestant church active in the local community. She remembered the summer camp as being “politically…
I was raised Catholic, and that’s never been something I could or wanted to shake. Faith was the first language I learned. Before I could read, I knew how to kneel, how to whisper a prayer, how to trace the sign of the cross over my chest. I loved the rhythm of it all — the rise and fall of the hymns, the smell of incense curling through sunlight, the soft echo of the priest’s voice in the…

In this post I will be looking at two OT texts, which the early Christians saw as foreshadowing Christ’s crucifixion. These early writers employed these particular verses as prophesying or prefiguring Christ’s death on a cross.

Suddenly popular in paintings from around 1880, the story of Pandora and her box brought many interpretations, and remains a story of our time.
In this post I will be citing a few sources regarding the status of St. Hippolytus, whether he was a bishop of Rome or of some other See, and if at Rome then whether he indeed was in actuality an antipope who set himself in opposition to the Roman bishop. All emphasis will be mine.
I begin with what Eusebius and Jerome wrote about him:
The quotations from St. Augustine are taken from On the Trinity, Book 1. Augustine will cite texts such as 1 John 5:20, where Jesus is called the true God and eternal life, to prove that Christ is one divine Person who operates in/by/through two natures since he is the God-Man. He will explain that Jesus, by virtue of becoming Man, not only became lesser than the Father and the Spirit, but also…
I will be quoting from the Epistle of Barnabas, which is a letter attributed to Paul’s companion that was composed somewhere between the middle and latter part of the first century AD. It contains a lot of allegorical interpretations of the Old Testament commandments and events, which the author connects to Christ, his commandments, and the Church. All emphasis will be mine.
