Trinity

In Is There Justice in the Trinity, Nicholas Wolterstorff makes the claim that there is a certain kind of love and justice within the Trinity. This justice found in the Trinity is a justice that is constituent of love within the Trinity (187) and is based off the assumptions that there can be no injustice in the Trinity and that the Trinity is the epitome of a just situation and relationship. More specifically, the justice in the Trinity is a perfect example of primary justice and can point…

Trinity College’s mission functions not just as a foundation, but also as a thinking person’s mantra for life. What is the unexamined life, but wasted time something akin to Macbeth’s “life is but a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more…” The unexamined life is not worth living because it fails to be satisfying to the mind, body and soul. College is a time to explore a variety of interests and engaging in our interests can lead us to a unbiased opinion…

‘The Holy Trinity’, painted 1425, near the beginning of the Italian renaissance for art, is a fresco painting located at the Santa Maria Novella in Florence. Standing at 667 cm x 317 cm, the painting’s proportions overall are about 3:1 vertical-to-horizontal. The was painting originally intended to face the entrance, now situated to the left of the entrance, with a lot of thought going into how the painting would immediately impact the viewer using their line of sight from entrance to painting.…

understanding of the Trinity is related to Modalism, which teaches the Trinity is not three distinct persons, but acts in three different forms or modes, and of Tritheism, which says there is three different God, not one God. As a children’s minister, his suggestion of bring realistic visual materials might be effective for children’s understanding. However, to present an apple or glass of water with ice denies each only one God and the distinctiveness of the three persons of the Trinity.…

The idea that humans could work with nature and let the harmony which it possesses influence the way we live was lost when it came to this grand river. The desire to control led to a “growth at any cost” syndrome and the once “Most Holy Trinity” became an eyesore with no use unless it was turned into something unnatural and grey. It was not until centuries after the settlement of the land that the “burgeoning environmentalist movement of the 1960s and 1970s led to a renewed interest in…

book Retro-Christianity identified seven core Christian orthodoxy by which evangelicals should be identified. One of them is the doctrine of the Trinity. Trinity doctrine is about believing the triune Godhead God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Understandably so, the Trinity is the foundation of Christian faith. The doctrine of the Trinity is a fundamental element of the gospel it is not claimed that the refinements of theological speculations upon this subject are essential…

While there are many theologians who view God as one and the first mode of being due to His role as creator, God is also three in hypostasis or person.

This suggests that the threeness of God can be…

person of the Trinity that is distinct from the rest finite creation. The entire Trinity, including the Holy Spirit, are “as self-existent Divinity, being unbegotten, uncaused, and without source,” for the entirety of the Trinity has been in existence since the beginning of time, which gives credibility to the divinity of the…

heretics of the day. What is not as overtly emphasized, but equally important, is the role of the Trinity. Indeed, this book shows that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one God, yet they each have important roles to play in the process of salvation. I consider the unity and diversity of the Trinity to be the great theological contribution of this book. Athanasius asserts the presence of the Trinity at the very beginning of God’s plan for humankind, creation. In that section, he refers to…
