THE 213 Trinity and Christology
Investigates the fundamental Christian mystery of the Trinity, that there is one God in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It considers both the immanent and economic missions of the three persons as they are revealed in the Incarnation, Passion, Death and Resurrection of the Son and ministry and activity of the Holy Spirit, to save us from sin and raise us to heavenly glory. Relying primarily on the New Testament documents, the early creedal formulae, and the declarations of the Church Councils of the fourth, fifth and sixth centuries AD, this course will explore how the Church developed its core understanding of these doctrines during the patristic period, as well as how key members of the theological tradition have deepened our contemplation of them from that time to the present.
