Fragments (complete)

Summary: Christ cannot be complete man and God, for then he would be both worshiped and not worshiped; he is one blended divine nature made flesh.

• From Apollinaris's discourse On the Tradition of the Renunciation and the Faith, quoted by Leontius. The denial that Christ is “complete man” is Apollinaris's own teaching; it is translated as written.

Summary: Christ is “man from heaven” because God is his spirit or mind, joined to soul and body.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus (Lietzmann cites p. 141). The removed text is Gregory's: he repeats the sentence three times (pp. 142–144), asking where the passages Apollinaris cited say anything of the kind, and noting that Apollinaris forbids calling Christ an inspired man while himself making God dwell in him as one in another. “Man from heaven”: 1 Cor 15:47. That the divine Word is Christ's mind is Apollinaris's distinctive teaching; it is translated as written.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus. Gregory's removed comment: whoever says this admits that the three (body, soul, spirit) are called by the name of the soul by inclusion. Cf. 1 Cor 15:45.

Summary: Paul calls the last Adam a life-giving spirit.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus, who inserts “he says.” In the removed sequel Gregory reports that Apollinaris calls the first Adam earthly because the body formed from dust was ensouled. Cf. 1 Cor 15:45.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus; cf. Gen 2:7. The removed sentence is Gregory's report: Apollinaris says that Christ is called “from heaven” because the heavenly spirit was made flesh. ταῦτα (“these things”) in the OCR is translated by sense.

Summary: The man Christ pre-exists because his ruling element is the divine spirit.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus, who inserts “he says.” “The ruling element” follows the editor's note that τοῦ κυρίου is the genitive of τὸ κύριον (cf. fr. 54), not “the Lord.” The removed text is Gregory's comment (he takes Apollinaris to mean that the Son's Godhead was a man from the beginning) and apparatus debris from the scan.

Summary: Apollinaris's form of the apostle's words on redemption through Christ's blood and flesh.

• Reported by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus: Apollinaris, he says, cited this “apostolic saying” to show that Christ was always in flesh and blood; Gregory passes over the other texts cited. The wording combines Eph 1:7 and Col 1:14 with “through his flesh” (cf. Col 1:22).

Summary: Christ's flesh is not an acquisition of the Godhead but shares its substance.

• Reported by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus, who sets it against his own view: let the one appointed to judge decide which is more pious, that the glory dwells by dispensation in our nature, or, as Apollinaris says, this.

Summary: Hebrews 1:1–2 is taken as proof that the humanity of God who appeared is eternal.

• Reported by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus, who inserts “he says.” In the removed opening Gregory reports that Apollinaris says (on Zech 13:7) that God raises the sword against the Lord because he is called shepherd. Quotation: Heb 1:1–2.

Summary: The man who spoke the Father's words is himself God and maker of the ages, who cleansed the world through his flesh.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus, who adds that he quotes word for word. The removed text is Gregory's rebuttal: if the man who spoke is maker of the ages, the flesh would be the radiance and the servant's form would express God's hypostasis; he repeats the words at pp. 163–167.

Summary: Christ's equality with the Father precedes his likeness to humans, so there are not two, perfect God with perfect man.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus. The removed text is Gregory's: he says Apollinaris denies perfect God with perfect man, seems to blush at his own absurdity, and argues that the words do not prove that there is no perfect man in whom the perfect God became man. Cf. Phil 2:6–7.

Summary: Christ is God in spirit and man in body, bearing the lowly human form.

• Reported by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus, in indirect speech (“he says that he is …”). In the removed frame Gregory complains that Apollinaris left it unclear which of the two he called incomplete, and repeats the words (p. 176), calling them Apollinaris's own invention rather than Scripture's teaching.

Summary: Christ is not a man but “as a man,” since his ruling part is not human.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus, who inserts “he says” and repeats the last clause (p. 178). Cf. Phil 2:7 (“in the likeness of men”). “The most sovereign part” (τὸ κυριώτατον) is the mind; that Christ lacked a human mind is Apollinaris's distinctive teaching.

Summary: Christ humbled himself in the flesh and was exalted by God.

• Reported by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus (“then he says”). Gregory's removed comment: Apollinaris says the flesh was humbled, though it needed no humbling, being lowly by nature, and that the Godhead was highly exalted. Cf. Phil 2:8–9.

Summary: Christ is glorified as man but has eternal glory as God.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus. In the removed text Gregory twice repeats the sentence (pp. 179, 182) and argues that Apollinaris himself thereby distinguishes the glorified humanity from the unchangeable divine nature. Cf. John 17:5.

Summary: Greeks and Jews would accept Christ as an inspired man like Elijah, but not as God born of a woman.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus, who inserts “he says.” Gregory's removed comment: then he turns his abuse on us, who do not accept the myth he has made up.

Summary: Apollinaris's opponents, like Greeks and Jews, are ashamed of the God born and crucified, and he will be ashamed of them.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus. In the removed text Gregory says that using curses against opponents is a mark of weakness and asks who is really the unbeliever in the guise of faith. Cf. Mark 8:38; Luke 9:26. The reference to Jews is the author's polemic.

Summary: Apollinaris charges his opponents with making the crucified one wholly without anything divine in his nature.

• Reported by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus: “he says that we say that …”. In the removed text Gregory answers that the charge does not touch him and that Apollinaris faults the faith for saying that the man had in himself something greater than his own nature, the Godhead dwelling in him.

Summary: Christ's activity is divided according to the flesh but equal to the Father's according to the spirit; so he gave life to whom he willed.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus. Fragment 60, whose number the OCR did not separate, is translated here. Gregory's removed words: Apollinaris added the first clause to the gospel saying “My Father is working until now, and I am working” (John 5:17), and then, word for word, the second; Gregory repeats that Christ willed to give life to some, not all (p. 195).

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus.

Summary: Christ is not two persons, one God and another man.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus. In the removed frame Gregory reports that Apollinaris accuses “us” of speaking of two persons, God and the man taken up by God, while he himself says that the one made flesh is no other than the bodiless one, the same in the likeness of our life in the flesh; and that to the question “Who suffered, being the Saviour?” he answers “God.”

Summary: Unless Christ is the divine mind enfleshed, he is only wisdom in a man's mind, and God did not come down or empty himself.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus, who inserts “he says.” Fragments 70 and 71, whose numbers the OCR did not separate, are translated here. The removed text is Gregory's: he repeats each sentence several times (pp. 212–218), mocks the syllogism as incoherent, and leads into fragment 72. Cf. Phil 2:7. “Enfleshed mind” (νοῦς ἔνσαρκος) is Apollinaris's own definition of Christ; it is translated as written.

Summary: Christ is man because man is mind in flesh.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus, who asks readers not to think he invents such things in mockery, says the words are quoted exactly, and asks according to which Paul an enfleshed mind is called man.

Summary: The earthly man Christ was also heavenly.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus, who inserts “he says”; the sense of the clause, cut short as quoted, is uncertain. Gregory's removed comment sets against it his own formula, “man in what is seen, God in what is understood.” Cf. 1 Cor 15:47–49.

Summary: Sin is undone not in a self-moved human mind but in flesh moved by the divine mind, and our minds share in it by joining themselves to Christ.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus, who inserts “he says” (removed). The dash in the text marks a gap in the quotation. The denial of a human mind in Christ is Apollinaris's distinctive teaching; it is translated as written.

Summary: Humanity is saved not by Christ's taking a human mind but by his assuming flesh governed by an unchangeable divine mind.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus. In the removed text Gregory quotes the conclusion again (pp. 221, 225) and says that not even Apollinaris could explain his distinction between “taking up” (ἀνάληψις) and “assumption” (πρόσληψις).

Summary: Christ's flesh is joined to God without constraint and shares his pure virtue.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus. In the removed text Gregory repeats the words (pp. 230–231) and asks what in a man without a mind could freely receive virtue, unless the writer means that what is forced is unforced.

Summary: A human being united to God would lose free self-determination, which God does not destroy; so Christ is not a man united to God.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus. In the removed text Gregory calls the argument a fetter of syllogisms, repeats it piece by piece (pp. 244–246), and objects that on this reasoning the union of God with flesh in Christ would have enslaved angels and men.

Summary: If Christ had a human spirit like ours, he would not be the heavenly man but only a vessel of God.

• Fragment 88 survives only in Gregory of Nyssa's own words (Antirrheticus, “I will state my opponent's thought in my own words”): Apollinaris held that man is made of spirit, soul, and body, citing 1 Thess 5:23, the song of the three young men (“bless, spirits and souls of the righteous,” Dan 3:86 LXX), “we serve the Lord in spirit” (Phil 3:3), John 4:24, and the flesh that “wars against the spirit” (Gal 5:17); this paraphrase and Gregory's rebuttal are removed. Fragments 89 and 90, whose numbers the OCR did not separate, are translated here. Cf. 1 Cor 15:45–47.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus, who inserts “he says.” Fragment 93, whose number the OCR did not separate, is translated here. The removed text is Gregory's: he turns the first argument against Apollinaris's own compound of an incomplete and a perfect being, and repeats fragment 93 clause by clause (pp. 261–262). Cf.

Translation: Translated by Claude (Opus) from the Greek as printed in Lietzmann, Apollinaris von Laodicea und seine Schule (1904), from a new OCR of the scan; no public-domain English exists, so each batch was re-read against the Greek.

Summary: Against the view that Christ became God only after the resurrection, the Son of Man will come again, and he was one with the Father before it.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus. In the removed text Gregory says that Apollinaris argues from this that the body's nature was not changed into something more divine, but still has hair, nails, shape, and outline, and replies to each text. Cf. Matt 24:30–31; John 10:30.

Summary: Christ is united to God before the resurrection; and the Saviour suffered hunger, thirst, weariness, agony, and grief.

• Quoted by Gregory of Nyssa, Antirrheticus, who inserts “he says.” Fragment 101, whose number the OCR did not separate, is translated here. Gregory's removed comment: the first sentence itself shows a man in Christ distinct from and united to the God in him; and to “who is the Saviour?” Apollinaris answers “God” (cf. fragment 67).

Summary: Gregory of Nazianzus reports a booklet of Apollinaris teaching that Christ's flesh was eternal, that he had no human mind, and that his Godhead died.

• This fragment is not Apollinaris's own wording: it is Gregory of Nazianzus's report of a booklet of Apollinaris, from his Letter 202 to Nectarius of Constantinople. It is translated whole because the report is the only evidence for the booklet; Apollinaris's own words in it are only the Scripture texts he cited (John 3:13; 1 Cor 15:47). The editor's reference at the start of the OCR text is removed. τὸν κρι: δ᾽ τῆ in the OCR is read as τὸν κριτὴν (“the judge”).
