Description:
Dr. Keefe's English translation of Text 22 from the Latin which appears in her Explanationes Symboli Aevi Carolini (Turnhout: Brepols, 2012), 107. The translation includes notes and brief commentary. Dr. Keefe left both in draft form and may have intended to update or add certain portions prior to publication. The text has been checked and edited by Katie Benjamin, Divinity Archive Fellow. Text 22 explores the two "nativities" of Christ -- begotten of God the Father and born of the Virgin Mary. Dr. Keefe's commentary explores the contrast between the words unigenitus (in the Nicene Creed), unicus (in the Apostles' Creed), and primogenitus (in the biblical narrative).
