Episode notes
Holy Spirit Emphasis
- Eastern Christianity emphasizes the Holy Spirit more than Western Christianity.
- The Holy Spirit is the divine power that makes the Son's presence felt and interprets his word.
Who is the Holy Spirit?
- The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force, but a person, the love shared between the Father and the Son.
- This love doesn't divide God but reveals a single God in three subsistent relations.
The Holy Spirit's Role
- The Holy Spirit prevents the Father and Son from being separated by the Son's embrace of humanity, even unto death.
- As the Son returns to the Father, he brings the world with him, included within the Holy Spirit.
