Clearly then it was for our sakes, that humanity might be sanctified by the manhood (tcj dv and ptoirivip) of God, and the tyrant be put to flight. -In other passages Gregory goes further in the direction of a doctrine of substitution and expiation. Christ gives Himself instead of us as a ransom which cleanses the world. 1 He made the sins and offences of men His own, as being Head of the whole body. 2 Gregorys thought wavers between representation and substitution. On the Cross Christ was not deserted by the Father but showed our state, for it was we who had first been deserted, then saved by the Passion of the impossible. 3 He became for us very sin and very curse, but the thought is at once given a moral turn, since the object is to produce in us true humility. Nor are the physical conceptions of other Greek Fathers absent. Christ is man to purify man through Himself, becoming like leaven to the whole lump, and, by uniting to Himself that which was condemned, to free the whole of it from condemnation. 6 He is man by reason of thee, that by reason of Him thou mayest become God. 6 The whole work of salvation can be used by Gregory in the interests of moral appeal, since the Incarnation and the Cross were not necessary to our redemption; by His will alone, as God, He could have saved us. 7 1 Tixeront, op. cit. , ii. 152. 2 P.
