    Theology - Trinity: Hellenization?

    [Print] | [PDF] | [Email]

    Patristic trinitarian theology has been seen as a symptom of the radical Hellization of the church.  Barth recognized that the opposite is true: The formulations of the Trinity were designed to preserve the biblical confession that God is a personal Lord.  He says, “it follows from the Trinitarian understanding of the God revealed in Scripture that this one God is to be understood not just as impersonal lordship, i.e., as power, but as the Lord, not just as absolute Spirit but as person, i.e., as I existing in and for itself with its own thought and will.  This is how He meets us in His revelation.  This is how He is thrice God as Father, Son and Spirit.”
