The Eighth Book Very Notably Overthrows the Blasphemy of the Heretics Who Say That the Only-begotten Came From Nothing, and That There Was a Time When He Was Not, and Shows the Son to Be No New Being, but From Everlasting, From His Having Said to Moses, “I Am He That is,” and to Manoah, “Why Askest Thou My Name? It Also is Wonderful”;--moreover David Also Says to God, “Thou Art the Same, and Thy Years Shall Not Fail;” and Furthermore Isaiah Says, “I Am God, the First, and Hereafter Am I:” and the Evangelist, “He Was in the Beginning, and Was With God, and Was God:”--and That He Has Neither Beginning nor End: --and He Proves That Those Who Say That He is New and Comes From Nothing Are Idolaters. And Herein He Very Finely Interprets “the Brightness of the Glory, and the Express Image of the Person.”
