Subordinatianism
With subordinationism sub , (from latin, under ', the doctrine of subordination), the statement is early Christian theologians called, after Jesus Christ indeed divine being, but God the Father is subordinate. Above all Origen and his pupil Dionysius of Alexandria took this view. "By the end of the fourth century, the majority of the voices in the Church were in favor of ( the doctrine of ) Origen."
The First Nicene Council established in 325 that God the Father and God the Son are of the same essence and substantiated statements to the contrary , such as Arianism , with the anathema . Despite much hostility, Origen's teaching on subordination was highly regarded in the first few centuries.
During the Reformation , subordinatorial tritheism was mainly represented by Matteo Gribaldi and Giovanni Valentino Gentile , who laid the foundation for the development of Unitarianism .
