ELOHIM, BETWEEN THE MAGIC OF THE NAME AND THE THEOLOGICAL MAGIC
ELOHIM, BETWEEN THE MAGIC OF THE NAME AND THE THEOLOGICAL MAGIC

Summary/Abstract: Our approach is to construct a Christian imaginary structure around a Semitic name. Elohim and the linguistically construction "bene-Elohim" will preoccupy the Orthodox theology in the process of analyzing the sacred text. We want to point out here only the Orthodox perspective in all its interpretative aspects. The divine names remain definitive for dogmatic space, a magic that theology will never be able to detach.
