Najib Awad finds similarity between an allegory of Bishop Theodore Abu Qurrah (c. 750 – c. 823), used as a Christian clarification against Islamic Mu`tazila theology, which is "one of the rare occasions on which we see an Eastern father, not a Western follower of Augustine," about the double procession of the Holy Spirit using a filioque idiom.[1][a] A double procession of the Holy Spirit is also found, in the 330s, in Cyril of Alexandria, in Epiphanius of Salamis, and once in Gregory of Nazianzus.[3]
Notes
[edit]- ^ This contradicts Photius I's premise that no Eastern father taught the double procession of the Holy Spirit. Awad writes that while Augustine of Hippo is listed in the acts of the fifth ecumenical council, Constantinople II (533), among the doctors of the Church, but his work was generally neglected in Eastern Christianity. Awad writes that if, as in Chadwick (2005, p. 125) , Photius I was culturally Greek and "ignorant of Latin" then Photius I nevertheless had access to some Greek translations of Augustine when he argued, in Mystagogy of the Holy Spirit (c. 860), against the double procession of the Holy Spirit.[2]
