| Summary: | Several recent studies have shown that the existence of angelomorphism in a second-century theologian suggests the presence of, or at least a susceptibility to, binitarianism. This article revisits the opinion of Dom Emmanuel Lanne that Irenaeus identifies the Son and Holy Spirit with Cherubim and Seraphim in Proof of the Apostolic Preaching 10. I contend that Lanne’s interpretation does not fit the rest of Irenaeus’ thought and is not permitted by the grammatical construction of Prf 10 itself. Furthermore, instead of suggesting a binitarian orientation, a proper reading of Prf 10 suggests a non-subordinationist, hierarchical conception of the trinitarian relations. |
