Nature and function of dogma in the "Symbolo - Fideisme" of the Paris school

Abstract

Symbolo-Fidéisme is a theological method resulting from the combination of two complementary teachings : "Symbolisme", an epistemology professed by Auguste Sabatier (1839-1901) and a soteriology, "Fidéisme", taught by Eugène Ménégoz (1838-1921). Symbolo-Fidéisme cannot be identified apart from these two men, it is therefore necessary, if we wish to grasp to a full extent its genesis and development, to gather some information concerning their life and work.
