medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture On Tue, 14 Apr 2009 23:02:22 +0200, Paul Chandler wrote: > text-book by Ludwig Ott, Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma (St Louis: Herder, 1958) is a decent vademecum to traditional (post-Tridentine) Catholic theology and its technical vocabulary, with the main points usually illustrated with references to conciliar decrees and the most important patristic, medieval and early modern authors -- highly summary, apologetic, and systematised, but careful to report unresolved differences of theological opinion, it is all in all, a useful guide to the Latin terminology and a good springboard to further research. -- Paul Chandler Related to this is Denzinger's "Sources of Catholic Dogma" which is essentially a compendium of councils, papal statements, decrees and Patristic writings on a very wide range of theological subjects. It has been through several incarnations and was/is widely quoted in theological writings. The references are not the entire document, but passages relevant to specific topics and largely arranged chronologically. The Latin title is Enchiridion Symbolorum, if I remember correctly, which I might not, but I mention the title for the benefit of more erudite Latinists who now have an opportunity to correct me, which is a good thing. I need a lot of correction ;-)) George the Less ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
