Sextus Empiricus, Against the Professors 3.3-4. Unless otherwise noted the text and translation of Sextus comes from Sextus Empiricus in Four Volumes (lcl; trans. R.G.

Briggman, Irenaeus and the Holy Spirit, 173-81. Norris approaches this understanding of the relationship of God to his economy when he writes, ‘There can, it seems, be no “going beyond” this hypothesis, but only ‘inquiry into the mystery and the economy of God that is’ (2.28.1)’ (‘Theology and Language,’ 294). The implication of this statement is that the mystery of God is the end of the divine economy articulated in the hypothesis of Scripture.
