Trinity

2005

The doctrine of the Trinity has, in the past couple of decades, reclaimed its central place in Christian God talk. Theologians are now using it to render every doctrine more explicitly Christian, and to sharpen interreligious dialogue. There is a strong drive toward vindicating the doctrine as relevant, but also a recognition that if it is truly a teaching about God it must remain somewhat theoretical. Finally, the field of historical theology is undertaking a fresh examination of the basic primary texts of trinitarian theology.

This paper presents a comprehensive defense of the Trinity, integrating biblical, historical, philosophical, and theological perspectives. Through an exploration of both Old and New Testament scriptures, the doctrine of the Trinity is shown to be the most coherent and biblically sound understanding of God’s nature. The hypostatic union of Christ is examined in depth, demonstrating its essential role in understanding the relationship within the Godhead. Without the Trinity, Christianity loses its foundation, as it is only through the triune nature of God that the Incarnation and salvation can be fully understood. Although foundational to Christian theology, the doctrines of the Trinity and hypostatic union often receive less attention in modern preaching and teaching than they deserve. This paper seeks to address that gap, offering a detailed defense of the Trinity and its necessity for the Christian faith. It will also address common objections, including claims of pagan influence, and highlight the contribution of early Jewish texts to the development of Trinitarian thought. Finally, it will explore the concept of theosis, showing how believers participate in the divine life through union with Christ and the Spirit.

Trinity Evolution Cryopreserved Cell Viable Bone Matrix is a minimally manipulated, human cellular, and tissue-based allograft containing adult mesenchymal stem cells, osteoprogenitor cells, and a demineralized cortical component. The cancellous bone used to produce Trinity Evolution is derived from freshly recovered donor tissue by Food and Drug Administration-registered facilities and processed under aseptic conditions. Preclinical in vivo and in vitro testing as well as strict donor screening has demonstrated the safety of Trinity Evolution as well as its osteoinductive and osteogenic potential contained within a natural osteoconductive matrix.

Aquinas occupies a prominent place in today’s discussions of Trinitarian theology. Each of the seven sections of this chapter deals with an aspect that is or should be present in any reception of Aquinas’s doctrine of the Trinity: the centrality of Trinitarian faith in Aquinas’s theology; the nature and purpose of Aquinas’s Trinitarian theology; the cardinal place of the economy of salvation; the relationship between Trinitarian processions and missions; the organization of the ‘treatise’ on God in the Summa theologiae; the divine persons as ‘subsisting relations’; the Son as Word and Image, and the Holy Spirit as Love and Gift. In Aquinas, Trinitarian doctrine provides the interpretive framework for understanding all other theological topics (from creation to eschatology).
