When Voegelin says that Christ was not "a man, moving in the struggle of the metaxy toward immortality" he means that, "as far as consciousness is the site of participation, its reality partakes of both the divine and the human without being wholly the one or the other," (39) which would entail that Christ could not be "true God and true man" but rather something ineffable in-between "mundane humanity and something transmundane.
Eric Voegelin on the incarnate Christ by Henry, Michael / Modern Age
In what remains the definitive scholarly work on the subject, Hans Jonas points out that a "radical dualism" is the key to every facet of reality: The deity is absolutely transmundane, its nature alien to that of the universe, which it neither created nor governs and to which it is the complete antithesis: to the divine realm of light, self-contained and remote, the cosmos is opposed as the realm of darkness.
Harold Bloom: the critic as Gnostic by Young, R.V. / Modern Age
