| description | The present paper is the first Russian translation of Augustine’s sermon
“On the Creed to the Catechumens”. The sermon comments on the Creed and
was delivered on the occasion of so-called “traditio symboli”. It was a rite of
Early Church during which baptism candidates (“competentes”) heard first the
exact text of the Creed, which was kept in secret and never written down in
those times. The “competentes” were to memorize the Creed with the assistance
of their godparents and to “give it back” before their baptism, which means to
recite it by heart in the presence of the congregation of the faithful. Bishops used
this rite as an occasion for commenting each article of the Creed. The sermon
contains a lot of references and hints at the details of Augustine’s catechetical
practice, which fact makes it an important source on the history of catechesis.
The present translation is based on the critical edition by R. Vander Plaetse (CCSL
46. Turnhout, 1969). The translation is annotated and prefaced by the translator
in order to provide the readers with information necessary to understand the
sermon. |
