  • The Alogi (ἄλογοι, also called "Alogians") were a group of Christian heretics in Asia Minor that flourished around 170 CE. What we know of them is derived from their doctrinal opponents, whose literature is still extant, particularly St. Epiphanius of Salamis. It was Epiphanius who coined the name "Alogi" as a wordplay suggesting that they were both illogical (anti-logikos) and they were against the Christian doctrine of the Logos. “ “St. Epiphanius (Haer. LI) gives a long account of the party of heretics who arose after the Cataphrygians, Quartodecimans, and others, and who received neither the Gospel of St. John nor his Apocalypse. ”; they instead attributed the two New Testament books to the Gnostic Cerinthus, who was actually an enemy of the Apostle. Regarding their beliefs, Epiphanius asserts that the Alogians denied the continuation of spiritual gifts in the church in opposition to the Montanists. They explicitly deny the Logos doctrine in John chapter 1 and they deny Johannine authorship by comparing his Gospel with the synoptic Gospels. Their comparative method was considered very foolish in Epiphanius’ opinion who derided them as "stupid". Epiphanius argues that Cerinthus could not have written the Gospel of John because whereas Cerinthus denied the deity of Christ, the Gospel taught Christ’s Godhead. Epiphanius contemplates that they may not reject Christ’s deity outright, but instead just the “Logos form from which the doctrine is presented in the Gospel. ” He therefore is not so much concerned with their Christology as much as he is concerned with their biblical criticism. Nevertheless Epiphanius is harsh in his condemnation of them and asserts that the bottom line for the Alogi is that they deny the Gospel of John and consequently the Word-Flesh Logos doctrine. In Epiphanius, they are clearly distinguished from the Ebionites, and from the Docetists. Some have doubted their existence because of Epiphanius' seeming ability to exaggerate or multiply heresies.
  • Die Aloger (von gr. a-logos, Un-Vernunft, die Unvernünftigen) waren ein frühchristliche Sekte, die gegen Ende des 2. Jahrhunderts in Kleinasien, wahrscheinlich auch in Rom, auftrat. Die Anhänger der Aloger sahen in Jesus Christus einen natürlich erzeugten Menschen, der aber wegen seiner vollkommenen sittlichen Entwicklung Sohn Gottes genannt werden konnte. Nach Epiphanius sind sie die Vorläufer der ähnlich denkenden Monarchianer. Sie verwarfen die Schriften des Johannes, insbesondere dessen Lehre des Logos, weshalb Epiphanius sie Aloger nannte, d.h. die "Unvernünftigen".
  • Els alogi (ἄλογοι, també anomenats Alogians) van ser un grup d'heretges cristians a l'Àsia Menor que van sorgir als voltant de l'any 170 dC. El que sabem d'ells es deriva dels seus oponents, en particular de Sant Epifani I de Constància.
  • Gli Alogi furono un movimento religioso sorto in Asia Minore verso la fine del II secolo, e considerato eretico da alcuni scrittori cristiani.
  • Alogerna, också kallade alogianer, av grekiska nekande a och logos, "ordet", kallades av kyrkofadern Epiphanius en sannolikt efter mitten av andra århundradet i Mindre Asien uppkommen sekt, som förkastade såväl Johannes uppenbarelse som Johannes evangelium, då sekten ansåg att dessa ej var skrivna av Johannes, utan av kättaren Cerinthus, och således ej värda att finnas inom kyrkan.
