In this article I reflect on his work in Patristics, and I attempt to understand how his interests diverged from the other major contributors in the same period, and how they were formed by his milieu and the spirit of the age. As a case study to illustrate and diagnose his approach, I shall focus on a debate between Stead and Rowan Williams about the significance of the word idios in Arius' theology (in the course of which I also make some suggestions of my own about the issue). Patristic Scholars come in a number of varieties. There are those who come to Patristics from a classical training, those who come with an interest in the history of religions in late antiquity, and those who come with an interest in philosophy. Like Maurice Wiles, and unlike Henry Chadwick, Christopher Stead was a philosopher by training, although he had originally started with Classics before changing to the Moral Sciences Tripos for the second part of his degree in Cambridge. But even within the philosophical approach, there are a number of different outlooks one might take towards the work of the Fathers. The most common approach in the twentieth century seems to have been what I would call an 'Oxford Approach', which takes contemporary analytic philosophy ('Oxford Philosophy') as a model of excellence, and tries to diagnose confusions and faults in what the Fathers were trying to do – mistakes that would not have seduced them had they been able to call upon the logical tools developed in the early 20th Century by Frege, Russell, Austin, Gilbert Ryle and so on. A second variant of the philosophical approach, which adds further opportunity for critical deconstruction of the Patristic doctrines, and for diagnosis of their philosophically suspect underpinnings, is one which starts by assuming that the Fathers were intellectually rather weak, and less good at philosophy than the great classical thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle or the best of the Stoics. It follows that much of what the Fathers wrote would struggle to get a 2.1 in an exam on Platonic metaphysics or on Aristotle's theory of substance, or indeed an exam in the Theology Tripos. The Patristic Scholar sees himself as a tutor, writing in the margin where the essay is confused and adding 'Could do better; read more Aristotle!' at the end. Studia Patristica LIII, 17-30. © Peeters Publishers, 2013. 18 C. ROWETT By contrast, a more charitable approach to the Fathers, which seeks to find in their work genuine philosophical progress and insights that might still be valuable (or, better still, could wake us from our self-satisfied slumbers) – this seems to be almost entirely lacking in the mid-twentieth century, emerging only a generation later, in scholars trained from the 1970s on. The origins of that newer and more generous outlook would be another research topic and is not for us to examine now. Suffice it to say that Stead was, at least in his early to middle periods, a product of the old school, having learnt his philosophy in Cambridge and Oxford in the first half of the century, and having done almost no theological study at all. I say 'early to middle periods' as though Stead had an 'early period'. In fact he was a remarkably late developer, at least as far as publication goes. He published his first and most important book, Divine Substance,1 when he was 64, six years after taking up the Ely chair in Cambridge, so the 'early period' will be the work he published between the ages of 48 and 64.2 From the ensuing steady stream of articles, Christopher helpfully compiled two volumes of papers on Patristic topics, one published in 1985 and the second in 2000 (covering work he had published right up to 1998 and some further items not previously published).3 He became my doctoral supervisor when he was already 66, and by the time I finished my thesis he was 70.4 It seems that the twenty years from age 65 to 85 were among his most productive, with contributions on Augustine, Gregory of Nyssa, Athanasius and a range of work on philosophical aspects of the doctrinal debates in the Early Church. All this alongside the important research he was conducting in his spare time towards a book on the birth of the Steam Locomotive, which came out just before he was 90.5 But I suspect that the publishing pattern is just a little distorted. Clearly years of ongoing research from the early period underpins Divine Substance (research which must have been undertaken at Oxford during the years when Stead was tutoring undergraduates and serving as chaplain at Keble College). Some of it 1 Christopher Stead, Divine Substance (Oxford, 1977). 2 Christopher Stead, 'The Significance of the Homoousios', SP 3 (1961), 397-412 (Reprinted in G.C. Stead, Substance and Illusion in the Christian Fathers [London, 1985], Chapter I) appeared more or less exactly half way through his life, at the age of 48. About nine further articles preceded Divine Substance, including Christopher Stead, 'The Platonism of Arius', JTS 15 (1964), 16-31 (Reprinted in G.C. Stead, Substance and Illusion in the Christian Fathers [1985], Chapter III) at the age of 51, and Christopher Stead, 'The Origins of the Doctrine of the Trinity (Parts 1 & 2)', Theology 77 (1974), 508-17, 582-8 (Reprinted in G.C. Stead, Substance and Illusion in the Christian Fathers [1985], Chapter VI) ten years later. 3 Christopher Stead, Substance and Illusion in the Christian Fathers, Collected Studies (1985); id., Doctrine and Philosophy in Early Christianity, Variorum Collected Studies (Aldershot, 2000). 4 My doctoral thesis was later published as Catherine Osborne, Rethinking Early Greek Philosophy (London, 1987). (I continued to publish under my married name, Catherine Osborne, until 2011). My undergraduate tutor in Patristics was Rowan Williams. 5 Christopher Stead, The Birth of the Steam Locomotive: A New History (Haddenham, 2002). Christopher Stead: His Work on Patristics 19 was indeed already appearing as articles.6 But we should not be surprised by a relative sparsity of published papers in that period, given the expectation (which Christopher Stead surely shared) that teaching came first, and research would be published only after one stopped teaching those topics to undergraduates. Besides, it was less common then to bring things out first as articles and then assemble the argument for a book, although it does seem that Stead did some of that. Publishing habits have changed. There is also an interesting question about the role of the Patristic Conference itself in assisting the process of dissemination of work in progress, and in stimulating exchanges of ideas and responses without the need to go through a formal written publication at that stage. In Stead's later years many of these free-standing Patristic Conference papers did appear in print, often in Studia Patristica. But arguably the print publications were not the primary mode for disseminating ideas. Although it is the print versions that are more obvious to us now, they are just the dead relics of a live debate. The regular Patristic Conferences during the second half of the century ensured that the debate started, issues were aired, and papers received their most influential outing, while the Patristic Conference itself was in session. For a short time during his undergraduate years, Christopher had attended lectures by Ludwig Wittgenstein in 1934-5. This was in the period that we know as the early Wittgenstein. Christopher Stead's approach to philosophy was very much of that age, although he was not an enthusiast for Wittgenstein, of any period, and Wittgenstein was very far from being the main influence on him. There is only one reference to Wittgenstein by name in Divine Substance. That is no more than there are references to Heidegger, Kierkegaard, Quine and Russell. But Stead's detailed work on diagnosing ambiguities and difficulties that arise from careless use of words like 'being' and 'existence', explaining the risks, dissolving puzzles and misunderstandings that (in his view) beset the early development of doctrine – all this belongs to the philosophy of that period, the philosophical world which formed him at Cambridge, and, even more so, the one into which he had moved, when he went to Oxford for postgraduate research in the 1930s, and to which he returned as Chaplain and Fellow at Keble, during the 1950s and 60s. In Divine Substance, Stead engages in an extended discussion of Plato's notion of ousia and of the various senses of 'being' and 'to be' that can be intended by the term. It is striking that he was evidently writing this book, on the Greek words for 'being', during the very same years when Charles Kahn, 6 In addition to those mentioned in note 2, see, for instance, Christopher Stead, 'Divine Substance in Tertullian', JTS 14 (1963), 46-66 (Reprinted in G.C. Stead, Substance and Illusion in the Christian Fathers [1985], Chapter II), id., 'The Concept of Divine Substance', VC 29 (1975), 1-14 (Reprinted in G.C. Stead, Substance and Illusion in the Christian Fathers [1985], Chapter VII), id., 'Ontology and Terminology in Gregory of Nyssa', in H. Dörrie, M. Altenburger and U. Schramm (eds), Gregor von Nyssa und die Philosophie (Leiden, 1976), 107-27. 20 C. ROWETT well known to those working in ancient philosophy, was also investigating the Greek verb 'to be', as an enquiry into issues in ancient philosophy including Plato, first in a widely cited article of 1966, followed by a book length study in 1973, and further articles in 1972, 1976, 1981, 1988 and 2004.7 Of these works by Kahn, four were published before Divine Substance appeared, and three after. So it is clear that Kahn was working on the same topic in the same period. But they are talking quite past each other. Stead does cite Kahn's 1973 book, just once, in his first footnote in the Plato chapter. But he cites it only for a tiny scholarly point concerning certain dialect forms of ousia in Philolaus. He makes no mention of its more general views on the very topic that Stead was discussing. Meanwhile on the other side Kahn apparently knows nothing of Stead's treatment of the subject, and never cites it. It seems that Kahn and Stead were ploughing parallel furrows in silence, for a decade, and it seems that what Stead has to say about the meaning of the verb einai is at least as wise as what Kahn says, and often more sensitive. Yet Stead's treatment is completely unknown in classical discussions, all of whom cite Kahn assiduously. Interesting and important as Stead's work on Plato, Aristotle and the postAristotelian philosophers is – or could have been, had the right people read it – that is not immediately to the point for our purpose. We should turn to his work on issues in Early Christian thought. Much of Christopher's work revolved round Arius, Arianism and the work of Athanasius. This evidently arose out of (or perhaps also inspired) his interest in terms for substance and what is meant by 'sameness of substance'. It was also an area in which it is sensible to ask about the philosophical underpinnings of both sides of the dispute, since both Arius and the Athanasian party were seeking a way to express their understanding of the relation between the first and second person of the Trinity that respected logic and employed philosophical terminology in a way that was recognisable and complied with the recognised usage outside theological circles. For this reason I have selected a 7 Charles H. Kahn, 'The Greek Verb 'To Be' and the Concept of Being', Foundations of Language 2 (1966), 245-65 (Reprinted in Charles H.

Kahn, Essays on Being [2009], 109-42). Christopher Stead: His Work on Patristics 21 case study to illustrate Stead's detailed work from his middle and later productive years, taking his views on Arius' philosophical background as an example, and particularly a debate in print with Rowan Williams. In 1987 Rowan Williams' Arius: Heresy and Tradition appeared. Williams dedicated it to Christopher Stead.8 By the time it came out, Williams was in Oxford, but it was clearly the fruit of his Cambridge years, where Stead too had been working on some of his best contributions in this field. Stead was generally impressed with Williams' Arius book, but he was not happy with Part III, in which Williams tried to show that Neoplatonism figured in Arius' intellectual formation, particularly grounding his reflections on creation, intellect and the notion of participation (methexis). Stead was not convinced. In the early 1990s, for the Twelfth International Patristic Conference in 1995, Stead wrote a response disputing Williams' reading of the evidence.9 The paper is not one of his best, which is understandable in the circumstances, particularly since he missed the discussion of it at the Patristic Conference. It remains badly written in places, and it sometimes drops its points before explaining why they matter. For these reasons I shall not nitpick through it in detail. But I think it is interesting to reflect on his objections to Williams' ideas, not just in terms of whether he is right or wrong about what the evidence can support, but also in terms of Stead's implicit intellectual and theological values. What, if anything, made Stead dislike Williams' hypothesis about the Neoplatonism of Arius? Let me explain the question. In the first chapter of Arius, Rowan Williams does some anthropology on the history of scholarship about Arianism.10 He unpacks the way in which scholars have repeatedly read the Arian crisis through contemporary spectacles, demonising Arius, or rehabilitating him, as they find in him features that they love or hate in the church of their own time or in its perceived enemies. The best examples are from the nineteenth century (Newman and Harnack, for instance) – a period sufficiently distant for us to stand back and see their prejudices, which are not exactly our own, and find them amazing. By contrast, it seems – at least to us – that post-war patristic scholarship was better at more open-minded and detached assessment, doing justice to the ambitions and virtues of both sides, as far as the evidence allows. 8 Rowan Williams, Arius: Heresy and Tradition (London, 1987). 9 Christopher Stead, 'Was Arius a Neoplatonist?', SP 32 (1997), 39-52 (Reprinted in G.C. Stead, Doctrine and Philosophy in Early Christianity [2000], Chapter V). Stead was expecting to deliver it at the conference himself but in the event, due to being taken ill on the way to the conference, he was in the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford, and was unable to take part in the Arius seminar. It is an indication of the charitable nature of the dispute that, on that occasion, Christopher Stead entrusted Rowan Williams with the task of oral delivery and defence of a paper designed to refute Williams' own position. 10 R. Williams, Arius (1987), 'Introduction: Images of a heresy', 1-28. 22 C. ROWETT One of the heroes of Williams' chapter is Christopher Stead, particularly Stead's 1978 paper on the Thalia of Arius.11 In that paper, and in the one on the Platonism of Arius,12 Stead had avoided treating Arius as someone with no religious sense or spirituality, but had sought instead to understand his motives, looking out for explanations in terms of Arius' serious commitments to things that he cared about, for reasons other than a sterile adherence to rules of logic. This approach had already been anticipated in Maurice Wiles' 'In Defence of Arius', in 1962.13 In his discussion of the history of treatments of Arius, Williams suggested that the later 20th century had stopped reading the Arian crisis as a mirror of its own angst. But from our current distance we might think again about that. Was it not that the 20th-century writers, including Wiles, Stead and even Williams himself were doing just the same thing as their predecessors of the nineteenth century, only that the earlier obsession with demonising the other is now replaced by a post-war obsession with taking the part of the maligned and dispossessed, seeing the other as all too human, and seeking to redress damage done in times of hatred and apartheid. The age of ecumenism and interfaith dialogue, the age of building bridges not bombing them, is reflected in the willingness to look at Arius from Arius' point of view, which is there in Stead and in Wiles, and of course in Williams himself. So here too, the assessment of Arius is of its time. Williams is right that twentieth century scholars were trying to be fair, and to countenance the idea that the Nicene party might not have all the moral high ground; but this was not just because scholarly detachment had improved, but also because rehabilitating the other side was the new orthodoxy. It was perhaps just another prejudice, though a more humane and attractive one, certainly. What, then, of the dispute between Williams and Stead? The essence of it seems to be that Williams had suggested, both in his 1983 article called 'The Logic of Arianism',14 and then in the 1987 book,15 that some features of Arius' thinking, and some of his vocabulary, plausibly belonged to a Neoplatonic tradition, and he proposed (on the basis of echoes in the vocabulary and ideas) that Arius might have encountered Neoplatonic philosophy directly, particularly through Porphyry and Iamblichus. It was not the old complaint, that Arius was a logician with no nose for theological or spiritual nuances. Williams did not want to say that Arius was 11 Christopher Stead, 'The Thalia of Arius and the Testimony of Athanasius', JTS 29 (1978), 20-52 (Reprinted in G.C. Stead, Substance and Illusion in the Christian Fathers [1985], Chapter X). 12 G.C. Stead, 'The Platonism of Arius' (1964). See R. Williams, Arius (1987), 17. 13 Maurice Wiles, 'In Defence of Arius', JTS 13 (1962), 339-47 (Reprinted in Maurice Wiles, Working Papers in Doctrine [London, 1976], 28-37). 14 Rowan Williams, 'The Logic of Arianism', JTS 34 (1983), 56-81. 15 R. Williams, Arius (1987). Christopher Stead: His Work on Patristics 23 too much a philosopher or too little a theologian,16 but he suspected that his cosmos was more Neoplatonic, and less Middle Platonic, than that of Eusebius of Caesarea or Athanasius and so on. Stead was not convinced. Why not? One possibility is that he just didn't think that the texts yield the results that Williams tries to get out of them. Stead's response contains plenty of scholarly quibbles,17 and he plainly intends us to see that he is motivated by nothing other than a concern to stick to the evidence, and not over-interpret it. Clearly there is some truth in that. But we should surely also do some of that cultural anthropology on the relation between Stead and Williams in the last decades of the last century. Stead's 1997 response to Williams includes a discussion of the claim that Arius believed that the son was not proper (÷diov) to the Father's substance. Stead argues, rather confusingly, that Williams has confused the neuter ÷dion with the adjective ÷diov, and that his comparison of Arius with Porphyry, and his claims about the divine properties depend upon muddling the neuter substantive (÷dion meaning 'property') with the adjective (÷diov meaning 'proper'). Stead's explanation is far from clear, but I think he means that Williams' conclusions would require the neuter substantive ÷dion, meaning a 'property', but cannot be got from the adjective ÷diov, whether masculine or neuter, when it means 'one's own', as in 'God's own Son', which is a description perfectly acceptable to all parties, and is so used of the Son in scripture. Since ÷diov in this sense can evidently be used of something that is a substance and an individual in its own right, it does not reduce the Son to a mere property of the Father, as Williams had implied. Fair enough, but is this relevant? Although this point is developed at some length, it is not where the meat of Stead's objection lies, as becomes clear on page 42 of his paper.18 Stead wants to show that Arius objected to the term ÷diov (or the phrase in which it occurs) not because it demotes the Son to a mere impersonal property (as Williams had suggested), but because it unduly promotes him to equality with the Father. This point is not properly developed in the 1997 paper, for it depends only partly on the claim which Stead tries to develops there – mistakenly as I shall suggest –, namely that Arius supports his objection to the Nicene position with arguments based on asserting the Son's inequality. That is, Stead takes [Text 1] a pair of lines from the Thalia, quoted by Athanasius in De synodis 15, to be the lines that Athanasius has in mind when he claims that Arius denied that the Son was ÷dion or ÷diov of the Father. And then he points out that in the second line, where Arius offers the reason for refusing the term ÷dion, the reason is that the Son is not equal to the Father, nor consubstantial with him. 16 R. Williams, Arius (1987), 230. 17 G.C. Stead, 'Was Arius a Neoplatonist?' (1997). 18 Ibid. 42. 24 C. ROWETT Text 1 ÷dion oûdèn ∂xei toÕ qeoÕ kaq üpóstasin îdiótjtov oûdè gár êstin ÷sov, âll oûdè ömooúsiov aût¬ç Arius apud Athanasius, De synodis 15 So, as Stead reads this couplet, the status indicated but rejected in the first line would evidently be one that made the Son too equal and too similar to the Father; the argument is given in the second line: because he is less than equal, we must not say those things of him, Arius thinks. This is, he says, the opposite of what Williams was suggesting, which was that the expression wrongly demoted the Son to a mere impersonal property, something too lowly, not too exalted. This point has nothing really to do with a distinction between the substantive ÷dion meaning a property, and the adjective ÷diov meaning 'proper'. For the first line is not talking about whether the Son is proper (÷diov) to the Father, nor about whether the Son is a property (÷dion) of the Father. In fact, it is not really talking about any of the things that Williams was talking about, and is probably not the right text to consider at all. Stead was actually recapitulating some work that he did earlier in Divine Substance, where he also discussed this couplet [Text 1].19 But there seem to me to be several things wrong with what he tries to do with it in both places. First, and most obviously, as I've just suggested, the text is not the one he needs in order to address the claims that Williams was making. Nor is it plausible that this was the text that Athanasius had in mind, when he claimed that Arius refused to accept that the Son was (as Athanasius held that he was), ÷diov (in a sense that I will explain in a minute). For this text does not consider whether the Son is one of the Father's essential properties, but rather whether he has the essential attributes of God. We might translate as follows: [Text 1] Nor does he have even one of the proper hallmarks of god, as regards what marks out God as a distinct entity. For he is neither another thing equal to God (isos theoi), nor the very same being as God (homoousios theoi). Arius apud Athanasius, De synodis 15 It's not clear that Stead has seen that there are two premises in the second line of Text 1: the two things denied there are not two alternative ways of expressing the same claim (as Stead seems to suppose). Surely they are the two alternative results that Arius thinks would follow if you allowed the Son to have any of the proper and essential attributes of [a] God. One of two things would then be true: either he would be a second thing equal to the original God, so 19 G.C. Stead, Divine Substance (1977), 244-5 Christopher Stead: His Work on Patristics 25 there would be two equal gods,20 or he would be the very same thing as the original God, so there'd be one God, and the Father and the Son would be one and the same entity. Neither of these is orthodoxy for either party, so Arius concludes that the Son cannot have any of the divine attributes that are exclusive to God, without appealing to any disputed premise. So this text tells us nothing about whether the term ÷diov can be applied to the Son. It is not talking about the Son being himself an essential property of God, nor about whether the Son belongs or is proper to God, but only about whether the Son shares any of God's proper attributes. It seems to be the wrong text to invoke if we want to know whether the term ÷diov can be applied to the Son himself. Stead had already given us a much more relevant analysis, that does bear on this issue, in his 1964 paper called 'The Platonism of Arius'.21 If we go back to that paper, we shall find some material relevant to the issue that Williams was addressing. In 'The Platonism of Arius' Stead explains how Arius insists that the logos or Son obtains his various titles by having them conferred upon him by the Father, rather than actually being himself the defining properties of the Father.22 For instance, when the Son is described as God's wisdom (sophia), word (logos), truth (aletheia) or might (dunamis), it would be a mistake (Arius thinks) to take these to be naming the essential properties of God himself. For God is essentially possessed of wisdom, truth, might and so on: without these features he would not be God, or would not be the God he is. But when these descriptions are used of the Son, they do not refer to God's properties. Taking them as the names of God's essential properties leads into a terrible dilemma. For either the Son is not a distinct hypostasis from the Father but merely his attributes (in which case nothing external to the Father has been generated and the second person is not a second person at all). Or alternatively, and equally unacceptably if not worse, the Father has detached his Logos and his wisdom and so on from himself and made them into a separate freestanding hypostasis, thereby losing all his essential attributes. So God would no longer be wise, true etc. This cannot be sound, since those are his inalienable attributes (they are what is proper, idion, to him, and he cannot alienate them without losing his identity).23 20 Equality is a relation between at least two things, so to say that the Son is another God equal to the first is ditheism. 21 G.C. Stead, 'The Platonism of Arius' (1964). 22 Ibid. 19-21. As Stead explains, these moves exclude various heretical positions that both parties would agree are unacceptable (on which more below), and also conform to a Platonist tradition. 23 See the list of choices offered by Athanasius in the second half of Contra Ar. I 9. These are surely the choices that Arius thinks impossible. 26 C. ROWETT It is this dilemma that motivates Arius to choose the third way, which he expresses in the famous statements quoted from the Thalia by Athanasius,24 and also in Arius' credal letter to Alexander.25 Arius says [Text 2] oûk ∂stin ö âljqinòv kaì mónov aûtòv toÕ Patròv lógov âll ônómati mónon légetai lógov kaì sofía, kaì xáriti légetai uïòv kaì dúnamiv Arius apud Athanasius, Contra Arianos I 9 He is not really the very word itself, the one and only word of the Father. He is just called 'word' and 'wisdom' merely nominally, and is called 'son' and 'might' as grace and favour titles.26 The point of saying that the Son is not the one true Logos and so on, is to ensure that when we insist, as we should, that he is a separate hypostasis, we have not deprived the Father of his Logos, wisdom, might and so on. Hence also, when Arius says that he is not the one proper and eternal dunamis of God, but is one of many things called dunamis,27 the word idia designates the one that is the essential attribute of God, the Father's own power, as opposed to the many other powers distributed to others, and external things that are called powers. So when he says, rather strangely, that the Son is not idios of the Father's ousia because he is a creature and an artefact,28 [Text 3] we must presume that he is still talking in the same terms about the same problem. [Text 3] Oûk ∂stin ÷diov t±v oûsíav toÕ Patróv* ktísma gár êsti kaì poíjma. Arius apud Athanasius, Contra Arianos I 9 That is, whatever titular and honorific descriptors we use of the Son, in each case he is not the one that is proper and exclusive to the essence of God, but only a metaphorical one.29 Arius is trying to ensure that the Son is neither numerically identical with one of the Father's own defining properties, nor is 24 Athanasius, De syn 15; Contra Ar. I 9. 25 Athanasius, De syn 16. 26 Note the emphatic placement of ∂stin, which is more than just the copula, but rather is a claim about what the Son really is in essence. I've tried to capture this with 'really'. There is no exact English equivalent for légetai, which does not really mean named or called, but rather spoken of (here by contrast with having the name that he is called by right, it being his own proper descriptor). 27 oti pollaì dunámeiv eîsí* kaì TM mèn mía toÕ QeoÕ êstin îdía fúsei kaì âñdiov* ö dè Xristòv pálin oûk ∂stin âljqin® dúnamiv toÕ QeoÕ, âllà mía t¬n legoménwn dunámeÉn êsti kaì aûtóv (Arius apud Contra Arianos I 9.) 28 PG 26, 29.18. 29 Probably the positive – and rather obscure if not nonsensical claim – that the Son is idios of the Father's substance is first made by Athanasius in order to distance himself from the more specific and comprehensible Arian suggestion of another Logos, and another Wisdom etc., in each case one that is not God's own. And then in that general and meaningless form, it is denied again by Arius. Christopher Stead: His Work on Patristics 27 he part of the Father's essence. The Son may have attributes in common with the Father, but they are not the Father's own properties, and he is not any one or more of the Father's properties. This leads Arius on to the idea that methexis or metoxss has some use in explaining the relationship of a derivative example of a property to the authentic exemplar.30 If it is important to deny that the Son is the Father's very own wisdom (as Arius feels he must), or that he has the Father's very own wisdom (which would also be absurd unless the Son is the Father), then we need some other account of how the Son can be called the Wisdom of the Father. Here the relationship can either be of two lateral equals (both the Father and the Son have wisdom in the same sense, two individual examples of the same kind, like Christopher Stead's wisdom and Henry Chadwick's wisdom for instance). Or it can be a relationship of dependence, whereby one is the archetype of wisdom, and the other is a derived example. It looks as though Arius opted for the latter relation because of the problems he could see in the former one. He imagines the Father hypostasising what is normally a property of some substance, and making it into an independent entity, which then bears the name of one of his own properties,31 and also bears the name 'Son'. Since the Father does this by an act of will (that is, it is not an automatic or random effect of his nature or his other activities) the resulting hypostasis is a ktísma or poíjma produced at will, having, in virtue of this procedure, a nature and essence that is not the Father's own but a kind of second instance with similar properties. On this account (which I've developed from one or two hints in Stead's 1964 article)32 the claims in Arius' documents that struck Athanasius as so objectionable can be re-read as an attempt to avoid identifying the Son with an essential property of the Father. This is roughly what Williams was saying. Hence his suggestion that Arius was trying to avoid that, because it would lead to a kind of Sabellianism, by failing to make the Son a separate hypostasis from the Father.33 Williams diagnosed the worry as a concern with the status of the Son. But is that really where the problem lay for Arius? What Stead saw and disliked in Williams was the idea that Arius was bothered by how low the status of the Son would be if he were 'merely' an essential property of the Father, if he were 'a mere impersonal property', not a decent respectable hypostasis in his own right. And Stead thought that Williams was wrong there, because that was not the worry, but rather the reverse: as he observed, Arius was surely quite keen to demote the Son, and seemed more worried by the risk of overpromoting him. That was what led Stead to discuss text 1. 30 E.g. Athanasius, Contra Arianos I 9: oûk êstin âljqinòv qeòv ö xristòv âllà metox±Ç kaì aûtòv êqeopoissqj. 31 Letter to Alexander (in Athanasius, De synodis 16). 32 G.C. Stead, 'The Platonism of Arius' (1964), 20. 33 R. Williams, 'The Logic of Arianism' (1983), 60. 28 C. ROWETT By contrast, if we consider the potential threat to the Father's essence, the risk is quite different. It is that, in hypostasising the Son, God has alienated some of his inalienable properties. This has nothing whatever to do with either upgrading or downgrading the Son. It is about a perceived threat to the integrity of the Father, and to his eternal possession of his own proper attributes. When Athanasius insists that the Son is the one and only Wisdom and the True Logos and so on, his worry (like that of Williams and Stead) is about the loss of status to the Son, if anyone says he is not the real Logos of the Father but a second one named after the Father's Logos. But surely Arius was worried about something else entirely, when he insisted that the Logos was not the Father's genuine logos. He did not mean either to demote the Son as Stead suggests,34 nor to resist demoting him (as Williams had implied).35 He meant above all to preserve the essential attributes of the Father as inalienable, so that (a) God could not be said to lose his best qualities in generating the Son as a separate being, while also (b) preserving the idea that the Son is indeed a second hypostasis (as Williams notes), not just some one or all of the Father's attributes nor part of his substance. Yet at the same time, in an ecumenical spirit, he wanted to insist on the Son's right to those precious titles ('Word', 'Wisdom', 'Might' and so on) in no merely adoptionist or docetic manner. The Son, he thought, was directly hypostasised as such, by the Father's will, not by adoption of some other more ordinary creature, and he was given the right to those titles by divine will, not by human convention. Perhaps I am mistaken in finding these points at least adumbrated in Stead's 1964 article. Perhaps Stead wasn't clear at that stage about how it would make sense of Arius's worries. At that stage he seems unable to see why Athanasius would attribute to Arius the idea that there were two Words and two Wisdoms and so on, one of which is proper to God and the other of which is hypostasised as a second person.36 He thought this was an 'absurd' idea invented by Athanasius. Williams also follows Stead in this, considering it most improbable that Arius held it.37 Yet later, in his spoof Arian document (on which see below) Stead does seem to present the view that I have just offered.38 And surely it makes good sense both of Arius' worries and of Athanasius' testimony. The claim that the Son is not the one and only Logos proper to the Father, and his claim that the Son obtains the titles by the Father's own deliberate favour, all fall into place, without needing to invoke any commitment to philosophical theories about what the term idios can mean, or about the nature of properties 34 G.C. Stead, 'Was Arius a Neoplatonist?' (1997), 42. 35 R. Williams, 'The Logic of Arianism' (1983), 59. 36 G.C. Stead, 'The Thalia of Arius and the testimony of Athanasius' (1978), 33. 37 R. Williams, 'The Logic of Arianism' (1983), 59. 38 Christopher Stead, 'The Arian Controversy: A New Perspective', in H. Eisenberger (ed.),  Jrmjneúmata: Festschrift in honour of Hadwig Hörner (Heidelberg, 1990), 51-9, 56. Christopher Stead: His Work on Patristics 29 or even (I think) of participation and the other technical terms that Arius employs to try to express the points. The serious work is not really being done by those terms, or by the Platonism to which they might seem to allude, but simply by the unsophisticated notion that if God has a certain attribute that is part of what makes him awesome and divine, it would be damaging to his awesome divinity if he lost that attribute by letting it become something outside himself – and even if you say that the result is another person of the Trinity, nevertheless the Father must not lose his own personal attributes in the begetting of that second person. So the worry was surely about the Father's dignity – not the Son's, as Stead and Williams had supposed, perhaps intuitively acquiring that worry from Athanasius and the Nicene party. But aside from the truth, or otherwise, of that suggestion, my point was really to ask whether Christopher Stead's approach to Arianism betrays his own theological concerns and interests. Stead was keen to reinstate Arius as a serious thinker, and to see him as a bit of a philosopher, trying to be faithful to both logic and revealed truths. He was happy to trace in Arius' ideas an innocuous Platonism such as we find in many of the early Fathers. I see in Stead's Arius someone a bit like Christopher Stead himself. So perhaps it is no wonder that Stead was rather less happy to have Arius dabbling with Iamblichus and Porphyry in the way that Williams was suggesting, than with the Middle Platonists as he had earlier imagined. My guess is that while a mild and rational Platonism was palatable to Stead, the excesses of mature Neoplatonism were anathema. An Arius like that, reading degenerate thinkers in the late Neoplatonic tradition such as Iamblichus, would not have seemed to him such a good role model for a fine upstanding Anglican divine of Christopher Stead's mould, renowned more for his finely turned sermons than for his willingness to tolerate anything like fancy ritual. It seems that whereas earlier thinkers had demonised Arius, making him into all that they most feared, Christopher Stead not only avoided that, but rather found in Arius something closer to a congenial and like-minded thinker, though perhaps not exactly a role model. In a mischievous piece that he published in 1990,39 in which he pretends to have discovered a new document written in the name of Arius, he writes (of his spoof discovery, actually a composition of his own): 'It is indeed written in the name of Arius, and is presumably the work of an Arian writer, or at least of one who had some measure of sympathy with the Arian cause. But it cannot have been written by Arius himself, nor indeed during his lifetime, since it clearly shows knowledge of Athanasian theology, not simply from oral tradition but as it is presented in his writings.' With tongue in cheek, Stead is describing himself. For sure he is not 'an Arian 39 Ibid. 30 C. ROWETT writer' but he must mean that he has enough sympathy with the Arian cause to be able to attempt to get inside the skin of someone in that position.40 That part-joke part-serious publication illustrates Stead's high-brow sense of humour. A fitting tribute to that side of his character would require me to construct something similar – perhaps a newly discovered fragment, from the Egyptian desert, of a technical treatise by Arius, in which Arius used the Ball of Aeolus to illustrate some finer points of doctrine, such as the emission of power to the Son from the Father? The Ball of Aeolus (or Aeolipile) is explained in chapter 1 of Stead's book on the birth of the Steam Locomotive.41 It is the earliest precursor of the modern steam locomotive. Invented by Hero of Alexandria in around the first century AD, such an engine could, in principle, have been known to Arius and Athanasius. So they could, in principle, have seen its potential as an analogy for crucial theological motifs such as the divine power and wisdom and begetting. So I could, in principle, have written a spoof Arian text that realised that potential. But how plausible would that have been? For the ancient Alexandrians never did see what was wonderful about steam engines.42 40 The piece is very entertaining and well imagined: 'The prophet of old instructed his disciple saying "My son, if thou comest to serve the Lord, prepare thy soul for trials..."' the spoof document begins, in 'the English version which I have prepared', as Stead put it, ibid., 51. He even inserts the Greek term where he imagines that there is a kind of joke or pun in the 'original Greek'. Evidently the irreverence misfired among some German Scholars (see Stead's commentary at G.C. Stead, Doctrine and Philosophy in Early Christianity [2000], xii-xiii). 41 C. Stead, The Birth of the Steam Locomotive (2002), 1-2. 42 This paper has benefited greatly from the discussions at the workshop at the Patristic Conference in 2011, particularly the question raised there by Sarah Coakley who asked us to reflect on the ways in which the various thinkers under discussion differed in their approach to their subject and why. In addition I have profited from several useful discussions with Rowan Williams who read an earlier draft and raised some useful questions.
