Encyclopedia > Alogi

The Alogi were a group of heretics to the Christian church in the second century. They flourished around 170. What we know of them is derived largely from their opponents, who suppressed them by doctrine. They attributed both the Gospel of John and the Revelation of John to the Gnostic Cerinthus. They denied the divinity of the Holy Spirit and denied the doctrine of the incarnate Logos (the word made flesh in Jesus). They were called "Alogi" as a dual pun, to suggest that they were illogical (anti-logikos) and anti-logos.

The Alogi, accordingly, may be described as a party which arose in Asia Minor towards the end of the second century.
It may, therefore, well be that the Alogi did not reject the doctrine itself but only the Logos form under which the doctrine was presented in the Gospel.
And St. Epiphanius seems to imply as much, "for," he says, "they themselves seem to believe as we do." Be this as it may, the interest of scholars attaches not so much to their christology as to the biblical criticism they developed.
