Background on Arethas of Caesarea

In his own words on Hebrews

  • Hebrews 8:1-2

    He calls the heavens "the tent" in this passage. In my opinion he seems to then call the flesh of the Lord "the true tent," which also the Lord himself fashioned when he was not yet man, considering that immaculate flesh did not come into existence by human coupling but by the Holy Spirit.
