| 總結: | The Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed commence with the proclamation of God the Father as pantocrator, ‘the Almighty’. As Batut demonstrates in this review of Christian use and exposition of the title before Nicaea, it never denoted simply a metaphysical omnipotence, but an exercise of power over all that has been or is to come. Since it is invariably the expression of wise and manifold benevolence, this power is the guarantee of every promise and exhortation in the Scriptures, and is invoked by martyrs in the hour of trial. Its logical concomitant, peculiar to Christianity, is the doctrine of creation out of nothing, implying as this does that God was under no obligation to make the world, and that its substrate is not matter but his own will. |
