    • 1861, Orestes Brownson, “Philosophy of Revelation”, in Brownson's Quarterly Review:
      In both intervenes a supernatural element; in original sin satanophany, and in redemption theandria. But even here there is analogy with reason, for satanophany and theandria represent the two extreme links of creation.
