Julian (Arian)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julian (probably in the second half of the 4th century in Antioch ) was an 'heterousianischer' theologian and author of a commentary on the Book of Job .

In some manuscripts the Commentary on Job, written in Greek , was wrongly ascribed to Origen and later, for example, by Hermann Usener to Bishop Julian of Halicarnassus (6th century AD). The assignment to a supposedly 'Arian' theologian named Julian goes back to René Draguet. But Julian's theological positions can be assigned more precisely to the 'heterousians' who were earlier - not quite correctly - referred to as 'new Arians'.

Julian is also assigned the Apostolic Constitutions , the 85 canons of the Apostles and three letters that he put under the authentic letters in his edition of the letters of Ignatius of Antioch .

In a tirade against astrology, Julian handed down some fragments of Anubion , an astrological poet from the late 1st century AD.
