ON ECCLESIASTICAL THEOLOGY. 827 BOOK ONE. 827 Proem. 827 CHAPTER I. That Sabellius is ineptly refuted by Marcellus, since he himself wanders in the same error as Sabellius through everything. 830 CHAPTER II. That through the grace of Christ a certain excellent knowledge of the Father and the Son has been conferred upon the Church. 831 CHAPTER III. That, entangled in various errors, they have erred, thinking things about the Son different from the Church. 831 CHAPTER IV. That they call themselves Christians in vain, who do not confess that the Son of God has subsisted. 834 CHAPTER V. How Marcellus denied the Son of God, having followed the sect and purpose of Sabellius. 834 CHAPTER VI. How the Church of God believes. 834 CHAPTER VII. That those who maintain a dogma different from the Church have departed from the theological reasoning concerning the Son of God, not in one way only. 835 CHAPTER VIII. The orthodox and salutary faith of the Church is proposed. 838 CHAPTER IX. That the Son does not subsist in the same way as other creatures. 839 CHAPTER X. That since he alone is begotten of the Father, he is deservedly called alone both God and the Only-Begotten and the Son. 842 CHAPTER XI. That the Church acknowledges and makes known one God, although it has recently admitted that form, God from God. 843 CHAPTER XII. That His generation from the Father is ineffable. 846 CHAPTER XIII. That the arrival of the Son was salutary and necessary for all. 850 CHAPTER XIV. That the Church, not without reason, has expelled Marcellus, who fosters the same opinion as Sabellius. 854 CHAPTER XV. By what words Marcellus refutes Sabellius, while he wishes to seem to dissent from him. 854 CHAPTER XVI. How Marcellus is detected from his own words as fostering the same opinion as Sabellius. 855 CHAPTER XVII. That he most manifestly denies the hypostasis of the Son. 858 CHAPTER XVIII. That he affirms that the Son, before the assumed flesh, existed as nothing else at all but the Word, very similar to a human word. 862 CHAPTER XIX. That the Holy Scriptures call the Son of God not only the Word, but by six hundred other diverse names, even before His incarnation. 863 CHAPTER XX. Thirty demonstrations proposed in parts from the Holy Scriptures and explained. 865
BOOK TWO. CHAPTER I. How he restored the dogma of Sabellius. 899 CHAPTER II. That he is found to Judaize in his opinion. 902 CHAPTER III. How he defined the Word of God as existing in God, without beginning, and unbegotten. 903 CHAPTER IV. How he said the Word is the same as God. 905 CHAPTER V. That by saying so, he denies the Son. 906 CHAPTER VI. What the Church thinks regarding the divinity of the Son. 906 CHAPTER VII. How the Church preaches the monarchy of the Father. 907 CHAPTER VIII. By what words Marcellus denied the Son of God. 914 CHAPTER IX. Refutation of this man’s perverse opinion. 915 CHAPTER X. That he does not correctly interpret that, "In the beginning was the Word." 919 CHAPTER XI. That he sometimes calls him a projected Word of God, and sometimes stored within, as is wont to happen in men, and immanent. 925 CHAPTER XII. That the evangelist did not set forth theology concerning the Son as it seemed to Marcellus. 926 CHAPTER XIII. In how many ways it is understood what is signified by the word Word. 926 CHAPTER XIV. How the evangelical doctrine concerning the Word is to be explained. 927 CHAPTER XV. Those expressions are proposed by which Marcellus most plainly denied the Son of God, affirming him to be the Word, now immanent, now emanating. 931 CHAPTER XVI. The perverse opinion of this man is refuted. 935 CHAPTER XVII. An explanation of the various opinions concerning the Word. 938 CHAPTER XVIII. Why did the evangelist term the Son the Word in the beginning of his Gospel? 939 CHAPTER XIX. That Marcellus, having invoked into testimony the Scriptures from the Old Testament concerning the one God, has denied the Son of God not otherwise than the Jews do. 945 CHAPTER XX. What was the cause that Moses and the prophets did not hand down an explicit theology concerning the Son to the Jews. 948 CHAPTER XXI. That this Son of God was he who spoke with Moses and Abraham. 954 CHAPTER XXII. That even among the prophets the Father is preached through the Son. 958 CHAPTER XXIII. That the Church does not preach two gods. 959 CHAPTER XXIV. That Marcellus likens the Only-Begotten Son the Word to words instructive of things to be done by God. 963 CHAPTER XXV. How he writes things contrary to himself. 966
BOOK THREE. 970 CHAPTER I. How perversely Marcellus dared to interpret the Holy Scriptures. 970 CHAPTER II. How that, "The Lord created me the beginning of his ways," and what follows, should be understood. And how Marcellus transferred them to the assumed flesh of the Savior. 971 CHAPTER III. A refutation of those things which he perversely invented regarding those passages, and an orthodox interpretation of them. 982 CHAPTER IV. How Marcellus, not understanding the Scriptures, defines the substance of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as one and the same. 1002 CHAPTER V. How the Savior taught concerning the Holy Spirit. 1006 CHAPTER VI. What is the tradition of the Church concerning the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 1014 CHAPTER VII. How Marcellus asserts the flesh to be the image of the invisible God. 1015 CHAPTER VIII. How the same man asserts the flesh of the Savior benefits nothing. 1015 CHAPTER IX. That he dared to say that the flesh of the Savior is to be divested of the Word at the end of the age. 1018 CHAPTER X. What the Scriptures teach concerning the flesh of the Savior, and what Marcellus felt against them. 1018 CHAPTER XI. That not understanding the evangelical voice, he said it scandalizes, and that the flesh of the Savior benefits nothing. 1019 CHAPTER XII. Interpretation of the evangelical voice. 1022 CHAPTER XIII. How he said the kingdom of Christ received a beginning four hundred years ago, and held that it would have an end at the consummation of the age, by offering perverse interpretations of the Scriptures. 1023 CHAPTER XIV.
