Index

CHAPTER I: That Christ was before the Incarnation God from everlasting.

CHAPTER II: He infers from what he has said that the Virgin Mary gave birth to a Son who had pre- existed and was greater than she herself was.

CHAPTER III: He proves from the Epistle to the Romans the eternal Divinity of Christ.

CHAPTER IV: He brings forward other testimonies to the same view.

CHAPTER V: How in virtue of the hypostatic union of the two natures in Christ the Word is rightly termed the Saviour, or incarnate man, and the Son of God.

CHAPTER VI: That there is in Christ but one Hypostasis (i.e., Personal self).

CHAPTER VII: He returns to the former subject, in order to show against the Nestorians that those things are said of the man, which belong to the Divine nature as it were of a Person of Divine nature, and conversely that those things are said of God, which belong to the human nature as it were of a Person of human nature, because there is in Christ but one and a single Personal self.

CHAPTER VIII: How this interchange of titles does not interfere with His Divine power.

CHAPTER IX: He corroborates this statement by the authority of the old prophets.
