Hypostasis = prosopon
Hypostasis used to equal OUSIA
ONTOLOGY = PERSONAL RELATIONS
Bishop gives being to the Church
Hierarchical and Authoritarian view of social relations
Contrast with Moltmann
Equal relations
Strenghts/Attractiveness
Seems to take biblical (GOSPEL) narrative seriously
Traditional Trinitarian dogma does not readily relate the gospel narratives to have any relation to the divine life
RAHNER'S RULE
Scripture is PRIMARY DATA
Coherence with Tradition
Cappadocian
Social parallels or relevance of Trinity doctrine
Miroslav Volf
Broad uniting themes
A celebration of true personhood in each divine hypostasis
Barth questioned the use of PERSON for trinity
Barth - Modes of Being
STs find it inviting
a particular account of the history of doctrine
Failure of Augustine to apply Cappadocian insights into Latin Trinity
ethical usefulness of trinity doctrine
Political/Social/Ecclesial parallels
Problems
ECCLESIOLOGY - Hierarchy and Authority of the Bishop
Male headship clashes with the egalitarianism of its own proponents
VOLF/MOLTMANN
Volf differentiates between the relations of origin and the eternal relations of Love in the Godhead
Economic Trinity (relations of origin)?
Immanent Trinity (relations of love)?
Priority of Father removed
Reinforces sacerdotalism, structure and authority
GRAVE INCONSISTENT APPLICATIONS
- Casts doubts on the application of ST to life
Inconsistent with Tradition
Shows that such schoalstic distinctions which the STs themselves disavow are used in their own program to work out social implications
VOLF/MOLTMANN's ST - Contrary to the Council and Capp Fathers
Only way to distinguish the Trinity is by relations of origin
Privileges the NT, especially the Gospels, over the OT
