" The non- Christian theology had thought to solve this problem in three principal ways. The one was "a survival of the primitive panpsychism " (so Hatch) ; it taught the belief in demons, or intermediate spirits, inferior to God but superior to man. An- other form of solution hypostasized abstract conceptions ; such 1 Hatch : The Influence of Greek Ideas and Usages upon the Christian Church [Hibbert Lectures, 1888], p. 245/.

A third way created Distinctions within the Unitary and Transcendent Essence of the Divine Being. Under this last liead there originated a metaphysical doctrine which designed to reconcile the transcendence and the imma- nence of God, and Avhich became of the utmost importance for its effect upon tlie philosophy of religion as held by the early Christian Church. This doctrine hypostasized the Logos, the Divine Reason, or Divine Wisdom. It reached its most influ- ential and culminating form in Philo, who, if it is true that only " in a peculiar sense " is he to be called a '* philosopher" when dealing with the Jewish conceptions as developed in the Old Testament and in the later Rabbinical writers, drew for his thoughts upon the two principal sources of his age, — namely, the Stoical and the Neo-Platonic.
