Nonnos] mentions a relationship between Zeus and his son Dionysus. He is to ascend to his father and sit at his father's right hand. Here you have the pagan version of the Christian creed. Christianity means the new form of the teachings of paganism. A large number of Christians can be shown to have been inspired by pagan mysticism. These ideas appear again and again in Christianity. There is an indication even in Christianity that isolated spirits of paganism have turned to Christianity and then sought a symbolic expression for the fact that they were able to understand Christianity all the more. The expression can be found in the Gospel, namely that magicians follow the stars to find Christ. They read the stars, and all they had to do was follow what they read in the stars. After following [the star], they see what is given to Christianity. Christianity is represented there in a single person.

Hier haben Sie die heidnische Fassung des christlichen Glaubensbekenntnisses. Christentum bedeutet die neue Form der Lehren des Heidentums. Bei einer großen Zahl von Christen ist es nachzuweisen, dass sie sich von heidnischer Mystik haben befruchten lassen. Diese Vorstellungen treten immer wieder auf im Christentum. Es gibt eine Hindeutung darauf selbst im Christentum, dass vereinzelte Geister des Heidentums sich zum Christentum gewandt haben und dann einen symbolischen Ausdruck dafür gesucht haben, dass diese das Christentum erst recht haben verstehen können. Der Ausdruck findet sich nämlich im Evangelium, dass Magier den Sternen folgen, um den Christus zu finden. Sie haben in den Sternen gelesen, und dem, was sie in den Sternen gelesen haben, brauchten sie nur zu folgen. Nachdem sie [dem Stern] gefolgt sind, sehen sie, was dem Christentum gegeben ist.
