[¶0] OF CHRIST'S DOCTRINE (FOUR ARTICLES)

[¶1] We have now to consider Christ's doctrine, about which there are four points of inquiry:

[¶2] (1) Whether Christ should have preached to the Jews only, or to the Gentiles also?

[¶3] (2) Whether in preaching He should have avoided the opposition of the Jews?

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

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

[¶6] Concerning the time when He began to teach, we have spoken above when treating of His baptism (Q 29, A 3).
