Background on Acacius of Beroea

In his own words on Proverbs

  • Proverbs 22:28

    We reject all the doctrines introduced recently either through letters or through pamphlets as confusing the common people, since we are content with the ancient legislation of the fathers and obey the one who said, "Remove not the ancient landmarks which your fathers set up."

    LETTER TO CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA 2

Quoted verbatim from public-domain English translations — including the Ante-Nicene and Nicene & Post-Nicene Fathers and the early patristic chain-commentary compiled in the Catena Aurea. Each quotation links to its source.
