Would not the rhetorical [uncelebrated] answer to that question have
to be "Alexander." ? :) :)
The general problem, however, must have to do with very divergent
streams that proceed from fundamentally differing matrices of
culture: The 'Chosen of God' vs 'hOI ANEROI'. How that breaks down
in specific passages would seem to be less important ~ eg which
philosophers did Paul mean, etc... ~ than the fact that Paul was
bridging into a man centered culture with a rejected [by Jurusalem]
evangel. That qualifies as fecundity in my 'book'...
