Eunomius of Cyzicus

Eunomius of Cyzicus was a 4th-century Christian theologian known for his teachings on the nature of God. He emphasized the absolute unity and simplicity of God, arguing that God is entirely distinct from creation and not composed of parts. Eunomius believed that God's essence could be understood through human reason and that God's nature was entirely different from that of finite beings. His views sparked controversy within early Christianity, leading to debates about God's nature and the boundaries of theological understanding, and he was associated with the more radical Arian movement that challenged mainstream Trinitarian doctrine.
