The Expression “Before the Ages” in Early Christian Statements concerning the Origin of the Son from the Father in the Period before the Council of Nicaea (325)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The article focuses on “before the ages” (πρὸ τῶν αἰώνων) as the expression regularly used in the Christian creed in the phrase concerning the eternal origin of the Son of God in God the Father (“the Son of God begotten before the ages from the Father”). It searches for the reason why it invariably occurs in the post-Nicene creeds produced during the fourth century, in spite of the fact that Arius seems to have used this term to explain his notion of coming to being of the Son of God and, on the contrary, the anti-Arian theologians, Alexandrian bishops Alexander and Athanasius, employed it rather hesitantly and Nicaenum does not mention it at all. In this context, the line of inquiry is centred on the question whether “before the ages” could have been regarded as a term of biblical origin by the theologians of the early Church. As a result, Origen seems to have used “before the ages” several times referring to various biblical passages, especially 1 Cor 2:7, whereas, unfortunately, his authorship of exegeses from the commentaries on Psalms and Proverbs cannot be regarded as certain. In general, wide awareness of the biblical origin of the expression “before the ages” cannot be evidenced from the treatises of the pre-Nicene Christian writers.
