Background on Eznik of Kolb

In his own words on Daniel

  • Daniel 7:22

    And [God] himself would appear like an old man, sometimes like a youth, for one or another manifestation of providence, having taken the form for a cherished man. And in this way by [God's] own appearances and those of his servants as well, he would make clear the excess of love that he possessed for humanity.

    ON GOD 118
