Athanasius of Alexandria · c. 296 – 373
Written from hiding in the desert to a bishop who had reported a group willing to confess the Son fully but not the Spirit. Athanasius argues that a created Spirit would break the Trinity into unlike parts, and that since we are made divine by the Spirit, the Spirit cannot be a creature.

c. 630–650
Greek
Maximus the Confessor · c. 580 – 662
Two centuries of short, deliberately difficult sentences on God, creation, and the Word made flesh, arranged so that the reader has to supply the connections. God is always willing to become man, one of them says, in those who are willing.
