Monarchianism and Photinus of Sirmium as the Persistent Heretical Face of the Fourth Century
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 August 2006
Extract
The Psychomachia of the fifth-century Latin poet Prudentius provides a straight-forward portrait of heresy generally shared in the west: The wolf, with gory jaws, conceals himself in a soft fleece, Counterfeiting milk-white sheep while carrying on bloody murders by devouring lambs.It is by this means that Photinus and Arrius disguise themselves, those wolves so wild and savage.
