23. Several authors could be cited in this regard. One article that presents this
position is that of SÄAKE, H., Pneumatologica. Untersuchungen zum

27. Athanasius referred to them as Tropici because they made frequent recourse
to' metaphorical interpretations [трояиюС] of Sacred Scripture to support
their heterodox doctrine.
28. Ad Ser. I, 26 (PG 26, 593 A).
29. Ibid. I, 1 (532 A).
30. C. arianos I, 6 (PG 26, 29 B): «oôx eortv ô àXTiSivèç xat (xovoç aùxèç той
Патрос Лб-foç, àXX ôuopatt (xôvov Xéyetat Лбуос xat Softa, xaf %&ç>vzi Xé^exat
TJàç xat ôuvatAiç.» — he is not the true and only Word of the Father, but
is called Word and Wisdom in name only, and is called Son and power
by grace. Such a stance was rejected by Athanasius because Christ would
not be able to give man what he himself did not really possess. If he were
not divine, independent from the merits he earned as a man, it would be
impossible for him to share God's divine nature with us.
