Summary

This is the central chapter that shows how the philosophical path traced in Chapter 5 intersects with the theological one. The Fathers, starting with Clement and Origen in Alexandria, cannot ignore that the very names of the divine Persons are relative. This gives rise to a development that with the Cappadocians takes on the characteristics of a veritable ontological revolution, whereby schesis, that is, relation, is introduced into the divine substance itself, as the foundation of the relativity of the Logos.
