520 _aThe hapax found in Bonaventure “Deus est in luce” shows itself to have a scriptural root which is the first epistle of John. This assertion has received little commentary by the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and still less has it been questioned and resolved in a systematic way. We propose to recall the main patristic and medieval discussions of the idea of a God inherent in light in order to show that its meaning there is often superficial and disparate. Indeed, one may wonder whether this sort of “phototheism”, “God is in the light”, is an affirmation of a pantheistic nature, and how such an affirmation could be reconciled with the Christian rejection of pantheism. The medieval arguments refuting pantheism being insufficient to establish the valid meaning of the Johannine affirmation, it is necessary to elucidate this hapax by the developments on the divine ubiquity and the inherence of God in things, namely his being in re, to attempt to identify some valid meanings.
