Donum Superadditum and EO

[Puritan Sailor]

Does EO hold to this Donum Superadditum idea? I've been reading through Athanasius' On the Incarnation, and he seems to have a similar view (platonic influence perhaps?), though certainly predating the Roman idea. I know he was more influential in Eastern circles. Just curious.

I started to reply to this, but wanted to lay back and give others the opportunity to do so. I am fearful of extending the impression of possessing an understanding of all things patristic. Unlike modern Roman theology, the Eastern Orthodox would not use the language of Donum Superadditum, but they do embrace something of the concept behind it.

For starters, look up the term Donum Superadditum on this web site, and note where the views are distinguished. http://www.cprf.co.uk/articles/imageofgod.htm
