"Neither, therefore, is one name sufficient alone to articulate all the glories of God, nor is each name accepted in its full extent without danger. For, if someone says, "God," this does not connote the notion "Father," and by "Father" is left out the notion of "Creator." In these, moreover, is wanting Goodness, Wisdom, Power, and the rest of the things conveyed in the holy Scriptures. Likewise, if we apply the term "Father" to God in its full extent according to our usage, we are impious. For this connotes passion and emanation and ignorance and weakness and other such things. Similarly, the term "Creator"; for with us this implies time, matter, instruments, help—from all of which the pious conception of God must be purged insofar as this is humanly possible."
