Inner Trinitarian, Cosmic Framework, Redemptive Mission
Inner Trinitarian Texts:
texts where we overhear the persons of the Trinity speaking to and of each other
Cosmic Framework Texts:
texts which frame the entire cosmos, as well as the entirety of God’s work in the cosmos, in relation to the Trinity
Redemptive Mission Texts:
texts which display the sending or “mission” of the Son (and, sometimes, the sending of the Spirit) as the great divine acts whereby God fulfills his redemptive purpose, establishing his dwelling among us, for the praise of his name.
Divine simplicity:
God is not compounded of parts, or of genus and species, or of substance and accidents, or of potentiality and act, or of being and essence. He is completely self-sufficient and self-existent.
