Description
Summary:The outstanding sixteenth-century Scripture scholar Juan Maldonado, in an instruction for members of the Society of Jesus on the manner of teaching theology, thus describes the ideal professor: The professor of Scholastic theology should be so skilled in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew that he will be able to speak with grace and not ridiculously and that he will not be restricted in his dealings with the heretics who are well-equipped with languages. He should be versed in all parts of philosophy … and much more so in all parts of theology, first of all in sacred letters, which is the source of all theology, so that he will be able to refute the heretics with the Scriptures; then for the same reason in the decrees of the councils, and the books of the ancient doctors, in Church dogma, in sacred history; … and finally in the Scholastic authors, … especially St. Thomas [MP 864f.].
