Phil over at hyperekperisou has got a selection of blog posts related to Patristics up on his site. H/T to Codex on this announcement.
What I really meant to write was that following up on Crouse's analysis of 'pilgrimage' in the Trinity, we have the parallel idea of the Neoplatonic exitus-reditus (the going forth or emanation of the divine and then the return of all to the divine); Augustine's theme of perigrinatio which has been looked at elsewhere by lots of folks, and then a whole bunch of stuff comparing the origins of Christian notions of divine Trinitarian 'pilgrimage' (God speaking his Word as Son who returns, the Spirit being sent and returning with re-newed creation) with the Neoplatonists' idea of exitus-reditus, and then looking at a bunch of stuff and shouting down the Gnostics and all that sort of thing.
It's all there. Work it out for yourselves and send me the draft copy...
That sort of thing just gets me all a-shiver!
"Work it out for yourselves and send me the draft copy..."
Uh. No. I have neither the energy nor the inclination. I have a copy of and have actually read Fr. Crouse's thing. All I can handle at the moment and probably all I can digest on that period. Wonderful stuff. This pilgrim has got to stop checking out blogs and get down to some serious Advent preparation.
