Conciliar Christology
According to Conciliar Christology: Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, is one person who has two complete and distinct natures after the incarnation.
Theological Language
Trinitarian theology, especially in the wake of Augustine, often sees ‘Word’ as a peculiarly fitting name for the second person of the Trinity. Likewise, the etymology of the title of the third Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit , relates to God’s breath (Heb.
Hermeneutical Theology
Understanding God as God invokes the doctrine of the Trinity, and in particular the inner-relationality of God’s being.
Missio Dei
Originally arising from the early church discussions on the Trinity, missio refers to the inner-trinitarian process of God’s own sending of Godself towards the world, denoting God the Father’s sending of God the Son in the incarnation and the sending of God the Holy Spirit at the Pentecost ( Schirrmacher 2017 : 9–10 ; see The Spirit in the Christian Bible ).
The Theology of the Icon
This concept of ideas in God’s mind is suggested by the phrase ‘let us’ in the first chapter of Genesis, as though the persons of the Trinity were ruminating on the idea before actually creating: ‘Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness”’ (Gen 1:26).
Christian Theology of Religions
The responses of the religions are viewed as including both theistic (e.g. Trinity, Yahweh, or Allah) and non-theistic (e.g.
Image of God (Imago Dei)
However, he changes his mind on this point in the later parts of De Trinitate ( Kany 2007 : 228–229 ), where he presents his famous doctrine that, even after the fall, humans continue to be an image of God, as the structure of the human mind is a triad, mirroring the Trinity. Augustine associates this with various triadic structures in the soul, such as ‘mind, love, and knowledge’ ( De Trinitate IX.4.4) or ‘memory, inner vision, and will’ (XI.3.6). These are examples of what he terms the ‘outer trinities’ of the human being. However, the triad that forms an image of the triune God is the ‘inner trinity’ (X.11.18) of memory ( memoria ), intellect ( intellectus ), and will ( voluntas ). This ‘trinity’ resides in the rational soul (XIV.4.6) and serves as the means by which humans know – or at least have the potential to know – God. This structural ‘trinity’ of the soul is indelible in humans, even in the state of sin (XIV.14.19), implying that humans are inclined toward and possess a particular capacity for participation in God (XIV.8.11; 12.15).
The Theology of the Book of Common Prayer
The lectionary honours this limitation, including only selections from the sapiential literature within the Apocrypha and placing these in Trinitytide and on saints days, both of which focus on sanctification. 3 Theology proper The doctrine of God expressed in the Prayer Book is Nicene, Chalcedonian, and Augustinian, consistent with the Articles of Religion (674–676). The doctrine of the Trinity is taught primarily through the creeds known as the Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian (affirmed Article 8).
Theology in Australia
In Melbourne, Anglican theology centred on Trinity College (1878). St John’s College – colloquially known as ‘poor man’s college’ – was established in Armidale (NSW) in 1898 by Bishop Anthony Green. Unlike Trinity College, no first degree was required for entry, and it was more Anglo-Catholic than Moore College.
Evangelical Theology
Theological triage distinguishes between first-level (i.e. Trinity, full divinity and humanity of Christ, justification by faith alone , and authority of scripture), second-level (e.g. meaning and mode of baptism ), and third-level (e.g. eschatology) doctrines.
