Nonhuman Animals in Christian Theology
Postmodern Philosophy and Theology
John 4:10; Acts 8:20), as well as the Augustinian designation of the Holy Spirit as the exchange of mutual ‘love’ between God the Father and God the Son ( De Trinitate vi.7, v.12, xv.27), Milbank ( 2003 : x ) argues that what we find in the doctrine of the Trinity is an account of ‘perpetual gift-exchange’, which has important implications for Christian ontology: [F]or a Christian ontology […] Being itself, as bound in the reciprocal relation of give-and-take, is for-giving, a giving that is in turn in the Holy Spirit, the gift of relation.
Substance Dualist Theological Anthropology
. […] Second, we image God when we live in loving relation to other human beings and invest ourselves in their flourishing and well being […] Since God is a Trinity, it is not surprising that we should image God in social and not just individual ways. The tenor of the relationship between the three persons of the Trinity is one of a harmonious and free exchange of love and joy. Therefore, engaging in acts of mercy, hospitality, love, kindness, and so on is to act like God. ( Corcoran 2006 : 81 ) Corcoran creatively combines what is often perceived as distinct views of human nature, namely a social relational view of humans imitating the Trinity, and a covenantal representation. Minimally, all of these serve as significant themes for theological reflection on humans.
Ecological Ethics
Augustine of Hippo (354–430) believed that the Blessed Trinity can be recognized by the faithful when contemplating the world ( The Trinity 2.15.25, 6.10.12; Augustine 1963 : 81–82, 214 ).

Anglican Theology
In his doctrine of participation , rooted in the doctrine of the Trinity and finding expression in the sacraments, he provided a rich example of this ( Dominiak 2019 ). 3 Historic formularies 3.1 The Book of Common Prayer Cranmer’s first and second editions of the BCP had borrowed from several sources including the Roman Missal, pre-Reformation regional Roman liturgies such as the Sarum rite, many ancient Latin collects translated into English by Cranmer, and different prayers of Protestant groups and Reformers.
Magisterial Teaching of John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis
In paragraph 2 of the encyclical, John Paul II listed as his reasons for writing the document: To respond to the many requests for a document of this kind; to clear up doubts and ambiguities regarding missionary activity ad gentes , and to confirm in their commitment those exemplary brothers and sisters dedicated to missionary activity and all those who assist them; to foster missionary vocations; to encourage theologians to explore and expound systematically the various aspects of missionary activity; to give a fresh impulse to missionary activity by fostering the commitment of the particular churches - especially those of recent origin - to send forth and receive missionaries; and to assure non-Christians and particularly the authorities of countries to which missionary activity is being directed that all of this has but one purpose: to serve man by revealing to him the love of God made manifest in Jesus Christ. ( Redemptoris Missio 1990: paragraph 2) Consistent with his general trinitarian Christocentrism, and his first tranche of encyclicals, John Paul II associated the missionary work of the Church with the missions of the Persons of the Holy Trinity. Of the fundamental theology quartet, the most prominent was Fides et ratio (1998).
