Athanasian Creed - Latin

In my church's calendar, today is St. Athanasius Day. This creed was almost certainly not written by Athanasius (First clue - the Eastern Church seems to not have been aware of it until after 1000 AD. - 2nd clue, it seems to use 5th Century Augustinian Trinitarian concepts and a bit of 5th Century Cyrilic Christological concepts) but was attributed to him because it celebrates the orthodox doctrine of God for which Athanasius was such a witness.

The main text is basically from http://www.bible-researcher.com/ecumenical-creeds.html , which is attributed to Schaaf's work on Creeds.

I have found that because we use it rarely, it keeps a bit of freshness today. The following phrase has particularly stood out for me lately: Unus autem, non conversione divinitatis in carnem: sed assumptione humanitatis in Deum.

I have tagged it with both the Athanasian Creed datatype as well as the BookOfConcord datatype...(Hey - I AM Lutheran)

Thanks, Ken! For this and for all your sharings! Peace to you! *smile* and .... Always Joy in the Lord!

Now that my Health is improving (I thank and praise our gracious and Loving God!), I'm beginning to tackle a few items I've procrastinated on, including the Latin Athanasian Creed. My Pastor uses it every year on Trinity Sunday. (In English, of course!) I used to use it for the first 25 years or so of my Pastoral Ministry but sort of "slipped back" during my last 20 years before I retired. It is truly part of our heritage!

I've had a few years of Latin, and sometimes it comes back a wee bit. Am very grateful to Logos for the reference works.

Kindest personal greetings; and I do remember you and your loved ones to the Throne of Grace occasionally.

Again, updated by telling Computer that this is Latin so it can use Latin dictionaries.
