ATTN: Kyle and Craig Incomplete indexing for Jurgens

Jurgens, W. A., trans. The Faith of the Early Fathers. Vol. 1–3. Collegeville, MN: The Liturgical Press, 1970–1979. is a resource that is normally referenced by Jurgen's number ... which is either volume number, excerpt number or simply excerpt number as they are unique without the volume number. Unfortunately, the excerpt numbers were not coded as milestones and thus the required index is not available. Some examples that should be links from my library. [Yes, there are a few resources that use page number for referencing.]

[quote]Among the Ignatian corpus is this letter, probably written ca. 400 and coming from an Origenist milieu.

[quote]Let the ancient custom which is followed in Egypt and Libya and the Pentapolis remain in force, by which the Bishop of Alexandria has the supervision of all those places, since this is also the custom of the Bishop of Rome.

[quote]Originating in the third, perhaps second, century, this short hymn, regarded by Basil the Great (WEC 2:67) as ancient (On the Holy Spirit 73), was used to accompany the lighting of the lamps and has long been sung during the evening office in the East. The text, addressed to Christ, includes a trinitarian doxology.

[quote]Rather, by some secret of the all-powerful God the things seen are transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ, truly offered in a sacrifice in which we, as participants, receive the life-giving and sanctifying power of Christ.

[quote]With these words Birgitta introduces a cautiously worded allusion to another, and far less theologically satisfactory, concept of the devil’s claim to “justice” in the sense that he somehow owned the sinful race of Adam and that God had to buy us back by paying the devil with the blood of Christ. Such an idea can be found in not a few of the early fathers as a result of their attempt to explain the biblical concept of “redemption” or “buying-back.” This concept of paying the devil was vigorously rejected by such different theologians as St. Gregory Nazianzen, St. Anselm, and St. Thomas Aquinas. See Ott 186 and William A. Jurgens, The Faith of the Early Fathers, 3 vols. (Collegeville, Liturgical Press, 1970–1979), passages 508, 928, 1016, 1257, 1675, 2311 and the notes appended to them.

[quote]10Origen, Commentaries on Romans, 5, 8, in Jurgens, 1:209. Origen also states that the church ‘… received from the Apostles the tradition of giving Baptism even to infants’, for the Apostles knew that in everyone is found the ‘innate stains of [original] sin, which must be washed away through water and the Spirit’. 5, 9.

[quote]The Father and Son have given the church no greater gift than the outpouring of God’s own Spirit. “God does not give a Gift inferior to Himself” (Augustine, Faith and the Creed 9.19, FEF III, 1561, p. 44).
