Episode notes
One God, Three Persons
- Christians are baptized "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit", not "names".
- This emphasizes the one God with three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Trinity: Core Mystery of Faith
- The Trinity, God's inmost being, is the core of Christian faith, the source of all other mysteries.
- It's revealed through God's actions (economy) but is a mystery inaccessible to reason alone.
Theology vs. Economy
- Theology studies God's inner life, while economy studies God's actions revealing Himself.
- These two illuminate each other: actions reveal identity, and identity clarifies actions.
