İlahi İsimler: Tanrısallıkla Birleşme Üzerine

These things we have learned from the Divine Oracles, and you will find all the sacred hymnology, so to speak, of the Theologians arranging the Names of God with a view to make known and praise the beneficent progressions of the Godhead. Hence, we see in almost every theological treatise the Godhead religiously celebrated, both as Monad and unity, on account of the simplicity and oneness of Its supernatural indivisibility, from which, as a unifying power, we are unified; and when our divided diversities have been folded together, in a manner beyond this world, we are collected into a godlike unit and divinely-imitated union. But, also as Triad, on account of the three-personed manifestation of the super-essential productiveness, from which all fatherhood in heaven and on earth originates and is named. It is also celebrated as the cause of existing things, since all things were brought into being on account of Its creative goodness; and as wise and good, because all things, while preserving the properties of their own nature unimpaired, are filled with every inspired harmony and holy beauty. But pre-eminently, It is celebrated as loving towards man, because It truly and wholly shared, in one of Its Persons, in things belonging to us, recalling to Itself and replacing the human condition. Out of this, in a manner unutterable, the simple Jesus was composed.
