Visigothic identity of Spain

[Michael Erwin]

I think the Arian and Aetian texts describe Jesus, to use modern  
terminology, as a theophany, as the manifestation of God as a human  
being, loosely comparable to the manifestation of God as a burning

manifestation of God as an omnibenevolent & omnipotent being within  
the created world. AFAIK, the Muslim tradition regards him as  
'merely' a prophet.

This isn't something rooted in various compromises.

In any case, the Skeireins are probably the most relevant work.

Comforter, by whom the Distribution of all Grace is bestow'd on every  
one of the Saints, according to their proportion, to profit withal."

VI. This is the most simple Creed, and common to all who either are
