    Greek:

    • Origen of Alexandria
    • Clement of Alexandria
    • Athanasius of Alexandria
    • Gregory of Nyssa
    • John Chrysostom

    Semitic:

    • Justin Martyr
    • Ignatius of Antioch
    • Irenaeus of Lyons
    • Ephrem the Syrian
    • Aphrahat
    • Cyril of Alexandria uses both Greek and Semitic styyles

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
