Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the theological complexities of the Holy Trinity, a central doctrine of Christianity that has been debated for centuries. The author carefully lays out a series of propositions that aim to clarify the relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, drawing on both scriptural evidence and philosophical reasoning. The author's approach, which emphasizes the essential unity of God while affirming the distinct personalities of the three Persons, is rooted in the thinking of early Church Fathers and stands in contrast to the later scholastic interpretations of the Trinity. The book presents a nuanced perspective on the concept of divine perfection, arguing that the Father alone possesses the ultimate perfection of self-existence, while the Son and Holy Spirit, though emanating from the Father, are nonetheless endowed with all other divine perfections, including infinite power, wisdom, and goodness. The author explores the idea of "necessary emanation," a philosophical concept that the author argues provides a more compelling explanation for the existence of the Son and Holy Spirit than the idea of creation. By engaging with both the scriptural and philosophical aspects of the Trinity, the author seeks to provide a more accessible and logical understanding of this profound mystery of faith, offering a compelling alternative to more complex and, in the author's view, less satisfying explanations that have arisen in the centuries since the Council of Nicea.
