Homoiousia similar essence
Homoiousia is the theological doctrine that Jesus the Son of God and God the Father are of similar but not the same substance, a position held by the Semi-Arians in the 4th century.
It contrasts with homoousia (orthodox Trinitarianism) and heteroousia (Arianism).
(McGrath ,235-36)
