Although I agree about the one's that you put next to, although they're worth engaging just because they're popular and you might have a discussion with someone who is liberal and it would be good to have some background on their approach.

Myles Domini Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 You know L_D you should like structure a complete scholarly reading list for every element of Dogmatic Theology. I'd be interested to see what you came up with, probably find lots of things to badger people into buying for me off of amazon : Think about it, yes?

Myles Domini Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 PS) Maybe the Noris is because it contains texts from the heresiarchs too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Mellow, mainly in their overall value for someone interested in studying Christology, but not exshaustively. In other words I would encourage reading the "" books before the mellow books, especially if you ultimately had limited time and could only read a few.

We have to be able to distinguish for our exams the writings of the heretics and those who took positions against them for the Church based on short paragraphs from their works.

[right][snapback]884080[/snapback][/right] [/quote] well maybe I'm biased, but I would put the Franciscan Christology text near the top of the list. As far as the Theology of the Roman Catholic Church goes, I consider the Franciscan doctors to have had the most profound Christological insight. Patristically speaking I'd say the Greek Fathers are the bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Domini Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Go, go Alexandria. I just wrote an essay on St Athanasius' understanding of the Incarnation. Can you believe some people dont believe 'The Father of Orthodoxy' posited a human nature in Christ? Are they really reading the same texts as I am?

[right][snapback]884092[/snapback][/right] [/quote] His treatise on the Incarnation is the bomb.. but I've always wanted to read his later treatise on the Incarnation. He wrote it after many more decades of contemplative illumination and the text itself was much longer. It is so sad that the text is lost.. I think he was so worried that heretics would misinterpret him (probably a fear born out of experience) that he would not let anyone make copies of the treatise. So sad...
