Bernard POUDERON: La Cohortatio du Pseudo-Justin doit-elle être attribuée à Marcel d'Ancyre ? Réponse à l'objection faite par PF Beatrice.

Dans une contribition parue au sein du volume collectif Dire Dieu (dir. B. Pouderon et A. Usacheva, Paris, Beauchesne, 2017, TH 124) p. 183-184, note 143), PF Beatrice opposait à la thèse de l'attribution à Marcel d'Ancyre de la Cohortatio du Pseudo-Justin (Ch. Riedweg, puis B. Pouderon) un argument de taille : Marcel range Hermes Trismégiste parmi les autorités païennes mises en avant par les hérétiques ariens, tandis qu'au contraire l'auteur de la Cohortatio le range parmi les témoins de la vraie théologie chrétienne.L'examen de l'œuvre de Marcel permettra peut-être de résoudre cette difficulté, dans un sens ou dans l'autre. Notre contributiuon passera en revue tous les éléments de notre future enquête.

Eusebius of Caesarea, Against Marcellus and On Ecclesiastical Theology

I am glad to announce that the translation of Eusebius of Caesarea's works Against Marcellus and On Ecclesiastical Theology which is about to appear in the series 'The Fathers of the Church' as been made available for pre-order:

Eusebius of Caesarea, Against Marcellus and On Ecclesiastical Theology

It is the product of an almost 25 years collaborative enterprise between Kelley McCarthy Spoerl (St Anselm) and myself, and we are both happy that after so many years we were able to complete this task. Eusebius is not easy to translate, although these are the two works which are of particular historical relevance, though with the exception of an Italian translation of On Ecclesiastical Theology the works have never been translated into a modern European language. Here, we are given rare insights into the immediate time before and after Nicaea 325 CE, and how the debate developed in the decade after Nicaea.
