It was this principle of inwardness of plentitude as represented so well by Plotinus that was brought into synthesis with the principle of Christianity by St. Dionysius the Areopagite and by Erigena. And surely it seemed as though the Photinian myth was to swallow up the testimony of the Word of the self-attesting Christ. In neither St. Dionysius nor in Erigena does there seem to be much left of historic Christianity. To be sure, there is the verbal commitment to the self-attesting Christ. But then there follows immediately a reduction of his word and work in terms of the principle of plentitude.
