Taking as its entry-point Clement of Alexandria?s less explored writings, Excerpta ex Theodoto, Eclogae propheticae, and Adumbrationes, it shows that Clement?s angelomorphic pneumatology occurs in tandem with spirit christology, within a theological framework still characterized by a binitarian orientation. This complex theological articulation, supported by the exegesis of specific biblical passages (Zech 4: 10; Isa 11 : 2-3; Matt 18:10), reworks Jewish and Christian traditions about the seven first-created angels, and constitutes a relatively widespread phenomenon in early Christianity. Evidence to support this claim is presented in the course of separate studies of Revelation, the Shepherd of Hermas, Justin Martyr, and Aphrahat. 410 0$aSupplements to Vigiliae Christianae ;$vv. 95. 606 $aHoly Spirit$xHistory of doctrines$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 606 $aAngels$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 615 0$aHoly Spirit$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aAngels$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines 676 $a231/.309015 686 $a11.51$2bcl 700 $aBucur$b Bogdan Gabriel$01582403 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778515603321 996 $aAngelomorphic pneumatology$93864754 997 $aUNINA
