Thekla said:
the ECFs did use careful language, but the 'description' of the Trinity did not rely on Hellenistic philosophy. For example, the Platonic concept of trinity is clearly heirarchical. In fact, as some of the EFCs had knowledge of Greek philosophy through their secular education, they were able to identify and excise secular philosophical thinking in theology.
