Summary
In this twenty-third lecture, Fr. Athanasios interprets Revelation 3:14-22, with Isaiah 65:16, 2 Corinthians 1:19-20, Colossians 1:16-17, Colossians 4, Romans 12:11, and John 1:3, in the letter to Laodicea. He situates the church in its prosperous and self-sufficient civic setting and explains Christ's titles as the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, and the Beginning of God's Creation as affirmations of his identity as Yahweh. Following Andrew of Caesarea, he rejects any Arian reading of Beginning as first creature, instead identifying Christ as the uncreated creative principle. The charge of lukewarmness is read as formal religion joined to worldly self-sufficiency, remedied by honest self-knowledge before Christ.
