La Sapienza Pagana al Servizio Della Dottrina Trinitaria Secondo lo Pseudo Didimo di Alessandria

From the perspective of concordism the pseudo-Didymean De Trinitate, offers many citations from philosophical and pagan religious literature, the purpose of which is to find confirmation of the truth revealed by Christ. This study shows how the most interesting among pagan poetry cited by Pseudo-Didymus aims to enrich the section of his work dedicated to the definition of God, the Trinitarian persons and their prerogatives, conveying a theology analogous to that developed by the Cappadocians.
