• Resumen

  • [...]Lashier claims that the hierarchy the Apologists describe among the persons of the Trinity follows the Middle Platonist concept of mediation. [...]this must necessarily mean that the Apologists believed that the persons existed in an ontological hierarchy of gradations of divinity, and therefore the Son and the Spirit must be of a lesser divine substance than the Father. [...]the book contains several lines of argumentation that end with the author's claim that a certain logic (whether of one of the patristic authors, or his own) necessitates a certain conclusion, yet leaving the reader unconvinced. [...]in general Lashier attempts to place the Apologists in closer alignment with Middle Platonism or Valentinianism than in the stream that leads to Irenaeus.
