613 2 | pre-Christian and Christian, takes a particular meaning in
614 4 | practical philosophy, was taught by natural theory and lastly
615 5 | as Gregory of Nyssa had tauglιt long ago<42>. ~Maximos,

653 1 | there is a real "chasma", tremendous and great, between God and
654 3 | distinction according to the τρόπος υπάρξεως is not separating
655 5 | and this brings in itself truly the likeness of God who

658 3 | likeness<24>.~According to this type of theology, being and ever
659 3 | the first man not only was unable to secure a unification
660 1 | very difficult, though, to understand that the οpinion of Maximos
661 5 | without end -an aspect easily understandable- but also without beginning,
