We have Constantine to thank (curse?) for laying the axe to our Hebrew roots as Christians. The patristic theologians who came after him followed suit and did everything they could to rid the church of Hebraic influence.
It was probably Augustine of Hippo who devised the impeccable linear logic that was to box God up all the way through the reformation of Calvin and Luther. Black or white, on or off, one or zero, the middle is excluded, paradox is not allowed.
Make no mistake, Greek thinking has helped make us very rich in science, art, and political institutions. But no system of thought will ever figure out or contain the LORD of HOSTS.
