To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The difficulty was to reconcile the doctrine of the unchangeableness of (rod, to which they attached great importance, with the changes and con- tingencies of terrestrial life. The Alexandrians were deeply imbued with the Platonic or idealistic belief that everything that happens is the outer manifestation of a timeless, supramundane truth. From this point of view, historical events, however sublime, are but illtistrations, not cavses, of eternal facts. This leads Clement and Origen to take a r...ather independent and high-handed line with 70 DEVELOPMENT AND PERMANENT regard to Scripture history. They considered that what is important in history is not the facts themselves, but the universal truths which they illustrate or symbolise. So Origen speaks of the actions of Christ during his ministry as amy/xara — acted parables. Athanasius felt more strongly than the Alexandrians the importance of the redemptive side of Christ's work; this part of Christian teaching receives quite a new emphasis in his writings.
