Book Description
Excerpt from The Roman Primacy, A. D. 430-451 But, further, this Council at Ephesus was concerned with the mystery of the Incarnation in a way peculiar to itself and to the Council of Chalcedon in 451. On these two occasions the Church settled for all time two of the most fundamental points in regard to that mystery of our holy religion, dealing with the union involved in the assumption of our nature by the Eternal Word. Thus in these two Councils we have our first clear sight of the Church in her combined public action on a large scale, and that action was concerned with the funda mental mystery of our holy faith. History here, at any rate, must have a peculiar interest for us Christians. Principles which are found embedded in the Church at this era must have had their origin in times long anterior; their appearance in full flower and fruit points to a distant past to which their roots must be traced.
