A scientific theology developed in the East and was marked by a blend of biblical theology and Platonic idealism especially in Alexandria or Aristotelian realism especially in Antioch. In the West, Christian writers generally depended on the Greek theological tradition, which they often clarified in definitions or interpreted in juridical categories, until the emergence in the late 4th century of a sophisticated Latin theology. Patristic literature falls into three main periods. Beside Him there was nothing; but He, while existing alone, yet existed in plurality.
For He was neither without reason, nor wisdom, nor power, nor counsel And all things were in Him, and He was the All. He made them, then, as He pleased, for He was God. And as the Author, and fellow-Counsellor, and Framer of the things that are in formation, He begot the Word; and as He bears this Word in Himself, and that, too, as yet invisible to the world which is created, He makes Him visible; and uttering the voice first, and begetting Him as Light of Light, He set Him forth to the world as its Lord, and His own mind; and whereas He was visible formerly to Himself alone, and invisible to the world which is made, He makes Him visible in order that the world might see Him in His manifestation, and be capable of being saved.
And thus there appeared another beside Himself. But when I say another, I do not mean that there are two Gods, but that it is only as light of light, or as water from a fountain, or as a ray from the sun. For there is but one power, which is from the All; and the Father is the All, from whom comes this Power, the Word.
And this is the mind which came forth into the world, and was manifested as the Son of God. Acting then in these prophets , the Word spoke of Himself. For already He became His own herald, and showed that the Word would be manifested among men. And for this reason He cried thus: I am made manifest to them that sought me not; I am found of them that asked not for me. And who is He that is made manifest but the Word of the Father? Thus, then, was the Word made manifest, even as the blessed John says. For he sums up the things that were said by the prophets, and shows that this is the Word, by whom all things were made.
All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made. If, then, said he, the world was made by Him, according to the word of the prophet, By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made, then this is the Word that was also made manifest. We accordingly see the Word incarnate, and we know the Father by Him, and we believe in the Son, and we worship the Holy Spirit. This is the God who is Lord of all. These things then, brethren, are declared by the Scriptures. And the blessed John, in the testimony of his Gospel, gives us an account of this economy disposition and acknowledges this Word as God, when he says, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
If, then, the Word was with God, and was also God, what follows? Would one say that he speaks of two Gods? I shall not indeed speak of two Gods, but of one; of two Persons however, and of a third economy disposition , viz.
For the Father indeed is One, but there are two Persons, because there is also the Son; and then there is the third, the Holy Spirit. The Father decrees, the Word executes, and the Son is manifested, through whom the Father is believed on. The economy of harmony is led back to one God; for God is One. It is the Father who commands, and the Son who obeys, and the Holy Spirit who gives understanding: the Father who is above all, and the Son who is through all, and the Holy Spirit who is in all.
And we cannot otherwise think of one God, but by believing in truth in Father and Son and Holy Spirit. For the Jews glorified or gloried in the Father, but gave Him not thanks, for they did not recognise the Son. The disciples recognised the Son, but not in the Holy Ghost; wherefore they also denied Him. The Father's Word, therefore, knowing the economy disposition and the will of the Father, to wit, that the Father seeks to be worshipped in none other way than this, gave this charge to the disciples after He rose from the dead: Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
And by this He showed, that whosoever omitted any one of these, failed in glorifying God perfectly. For it is through this Trinity that the Father is glorified.

For the Father willed, the Son did, the Spirit manifested. The whole Scriptures, then, proclaim this truth. But some one will say to me, You adduce a thing strange to me, when you call the Son the Word.

For John indeed speaks of the Word, but it is by a figure of speech. Nay, it is by no figure of speech.

For while thus presenting this Word that was from the beginning, and has now been sent forth, he said below in the Apocalypse, And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was Faithful and True; and in righteousness He does judge and make war. And His eyes were as flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written that no man knew but He Himself. And He was clothed in a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called the Word of God.
See then, brethren, how the vesture sprinkled with blood denoted in symbol the flesh, through which the impassible Word of God came under suffering, as also the prophets testify to me. These are their pursuits. Are not His words good with them, and do they walk rightly? And they have risen up in enmity against His countenance of peace, and they have stripped off His glory.
That means His suffering in the flesh. And in like manner also the blessed Paul says, For what the law could not do, in that it was weak, God, sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteousness of the law might be shown in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. What Son of His own, then, did God send through the flesh but the Word, whom He addressed as Son because He was to become such or be begotten in the future?
Hippolytus and the Watchtower
And He takes the common name for tender affection among men in being called the Son. For neither was the Word, prior to incarnation and when by Himself, yet perfect Son, although He was perfect Word, only-begotten. By the term economy , therefore, he understands, with Tertullian, adversus Praxeam. Here he also calls the grace of the Holy Spirit the third economy , but in the same way as Tertullian, who calls the Holy Spirit the third grade tertium gradum. For the Father indeed is One, but there are two Persons, because there is also the Son; and then there is the third, the Holy Spirit.
The Father decrees, the Word executes, and the Son is manifested, through whom the Father is believed on. See Petavius, De Trin. For the Jews glorified or gloried in the Father, but gave Him not thanks, for they did not recognise the Son. The disciples recognised the Son, but not in the Holy Ghost; wherefore they also denied Him.
And by this He showed, that whosoever omitted any one of these, failed in glorifying God perfectly. For the Father willed, the Son did, the Spirit manifested. The whole Scriptures, then, proclaim this truth. But some one will say to me, You adduce a thing strange to me, when you call the Son the Word.

The words in Italics are given only in the Latin. They may have dropped from the Greek text. At any rate, some such addition seems necessary for the sense. And His eyes were as flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written that no man knew but He Himself.
See then, brethren, how the vesture sprinkled with blood denoted in symbol the flesh, through which the impassible Word of God came under suffering, as also the prophets testify to me.

Clark , div. The patristic citations are sufficient, and Hippolytus may be harmonized with them. The sense is, it had its subsistence in the Logos; He was the connective and vehicular force.
This is thoroughly unobjectionable. He does not thus necessarily pronounce the humanity of Christ impersonal; although in view of what has preceded, and what remains to be adduced, there can be no doubt [?
Note also what he says of the latter, and his variations of expression, p. And these indeed are testimonies bearing on the incarnation of the Word; and there are also very many others. The divine in Christ is thus designated in the Ante-Nicene Fathers generally. See Grotius on Mark ii.
But you will say to me, How is He begotten?
