QUESTION 42

OF CHRIST'S DOCTRINE

(In Four Articles)

We have now to consider Christ's doctrine, about which there are four

points of inquiry:

(1) Whether Christ should have preached to the Jews only, or to the

Gentiles also?

(2) Whether in preaching He should have avoided the opposition of the

Jews?

(3) Whether He should have preached in an open or in a hidden manner?

(4) Whether He should have preached by word only, or also by writing?

Concerning the time when He began to teach, we have spoken above when

treating of His baptism (Q. 29, A. 3).
