Episode notes
Trinity As Central Christian Mystery
- The Trinity is the heart of Christian mystery revealed by God, not discovered by us.
- God is one essence in three persons who invite us to share their life.
Theology Versus Divine Economy
- Theology (who God is) and economy (how God reveals and communicates) are distinct but linked ways to understand God.
- The divine economy shows Father as source, Son as mediator, Spirit as presence in all things.
Unity Of Operation In Three Persons
- The three Persons share one divine operation: when one acts, all act, yet each in a distinctive way.
- Scripture and councils articulate this unity without confusing persons or dividing substance.
