Episode notes
Cappadocians Preserve Person Distinctions By Separating Planes
- The Cappadocians distinguish economia from theology to preserve real distinctions among Persons.
- Jay contrasts Basil and Maximus: purity-of-act used against creatures, not as an inner-Trinitarian essence claim.
Start Trinitarian Theology From The Father
- Begin Trinitarian theology with the person of the Father to properly ground relations of origin.
- Jay recommends starting from hypostatic origin so generating and spirating remain real distinctions, not collapsed into essence.

- Jay stresses energetic procession is distinct from hypostatic origin and necessary to reject Filioque conflations.
