The universal ruin brought on mankind by sin was not suffered by Almighty God to be permanent. His goodness and mercy provided an equally universal remedy whereby man might be freed (redeemed) from the slavery of sin, and whereby the Supernatural Order which had been destroyed might be restored in a new and more perfect form. This restoration forms the subject of the succeeding portion of Dogmatic Theology.
FIRST we have to treat of the Person and work of Him Who was the means of bringing about this new order of things. We shall divide the present book into four parts:—I. The Preparation for the Redeemer; II. The Person of the Redeemer (Christology); III. His Work; IV. His Mother.
The Fathers treat expressly of the Person of Christ rather than of His work; but they do so always with reference to that work. St. Athanasius, St. Leo, and St. John Damascene should be especially consulted. It was St. Anselm, in his treatise, Cur Deus Homo, and Hugh of St. Victor (De Sacram. Christ. Fidei), who laid the foundation of the systematic teaching on Redemption. The Master of the Sentences deals with Christology in lib. iii., dist. i.–xxii., of which the best commentators are St. Bonaventure, Scotus, Denis the Carthusian, Franciscus a Christo and Estius. St. Thomas has given Christology its most perfect form. See his commentary on the Master of Sentences; also, Qq. Dispp. De Unione Verbi Incarnati; De Scientia Christi, and De Gratia Christi; Opusc. III. Contra Græcos, Armenos, etc.; Compend. Theol. cc. 199–241; Summa Contra Gentes, l. iv., and Summa Theol. 3, qq. 1–51. Commentaries on St. Thomas: Medina, Sylvius, Gonet, and especially the Salmanticenses; the Jesuits Valentia, Tanner, Vasquez, Lugo, Ragusa, and especially Suarez. For the Scotist views see Frassen, De Rada, Henno. Also the important works of Petavius, Thomassin, and Theophilus Reynaud, in the seventeenth century; the magnificent treatise of Cardinal Bérulle, Des Grandeurs de Jésus-Christ. Of modern authors: Munier and Holzklau (Wirceburgenses), Legrand (Migne Theol., tom. ix.); Franzelin (De Verbo Incarnato), Kleutgen, vol. iii.; Newman’s St. Athanasius, Arians of the Fourth Century, and Tracts Theological and Ecclesiastical; Scheeben, book v.; Billot, De Verbo Incarnato; Card. Satolli, De Incarnatione.
