520 |a In the chapters 6 to 9 of his On Education (ca. 1305) Theodore Metochites (ca. 1270-1332) expounded his understanding of the fundamentals of Orthodox dogmatics. Basing his Triadological views on Plotinus, he went so far as to dissociate the divine essence from the Persons. By additionally exalting God the Father as the Keeper of Providence over all the beings and God the Son as the Redeemer, our thinker assigned to the Holy Spirit only a subsidiary role in the Economy of our salvation perforce. So, it was his deliberate choice not to say even a word concerning Filioque, the psychological trauma ensuing from his father's death being not the only reason for this omission (in addition to what Ihor Ševcenko thought). In Christology Theodore moved away from John of Damascus' teaching on the immaculate passions of Jesus Christ's humanity taken in its post­laparian state, but then he repeatedly quoted Gregory of Nazianzus. In doing so Metochites might have thought that Gregory had terminated "the Golden Age" of patristics. I have identified an important quote from Gregory which remained unnoticed by the editor.
