Alexandrian Theology

Alexandrian Theology is a major Christian intellectual tradition that developed in Alexandria, Egypt, during the early centuries of the Church. It emphasizes the symbolic and spiritual interpretation of Scripture, focusing on the divine nature of Jesus and the mystery of the Trinity. Thinkers like Origen and Athanasius explored concepts like the Logos (Word) of God becoming human, aiming to understand God's nature and the relationship between Jesus' humanity and divinity. This approach seeks to harmonize faith and reason, emphasizing the theological depths of Scripture and the unity of God's saving work throughout history.
