The Trinity

All the Hans Urs von Balthasar theology is the Trinity. For him everything flows from interpersonal relationships in the Trinity. The starting point for understanding the Trinity must depart from the event of love. Jesus is a manifestation of God’s love that appears to humans. God’s love is beautiful. Jesus revealed the beauty of the Triune God. The fundamental aspect of beauty is obedience from Jesus. Jesus as the beauty that manifest the Father and the Holy Spirit. We will not be able to understand the beauty of Christ without referring to inter-Trinitarian beauty. It does not stop at mere beauty but God is involved in the history of human life. In other words, God is involved in drama with humans. On the Good Friday, there was a drama between God and the world on the cross. But a more dramatic drama took place on Holy Saturday. Drama also occurs in the life of the Trinity. The three divine persons empty themselves which are united in a bond of love. The real kenosis occurs in a triune life. The Trinity lives in the Church and maintains the Church. The church’s teachings are undeniable because of the truth of the Trinity itself.   Seluruh teologi Hans Urs von Balthasar adalah Tritunggal. Baginya segala sesuatu mengalir dari relasi antar pribadi dalam Tritunggal. Titik tolak untuk memahami Tritunggal harus berangkat dari peristiwa kasih. Yesus adalah wujud kasih Allah yang tampak kepada manusia. Kasih Allah sendiri sangat indah. Yesus mewahyukan keindahan dari Allah Tritunggal. Aspek fundamental dari keindahan itu yakni ketaatan dari Yesus. Yesus sebagai keindahan yang mewahyukan Bapa dan Roh Kudus. Wujud dari Yesus mengacu kepada wujud dari Allah dalam diri-Nya sendiri.Trinitas seperti cinta di dalam dirinya sendiri. Kita tidak akan dapat memahami keindahan Kristus tanpa mengacu pada keindahan inter-Trinitaris. Tidak berhenti pada keindahan semata tetapi Allah terlibat di dalam sejarah kehidupan manusia. Dengan kata lain Allah terlibat drama dengan manusia. Pada peristiwa Jumat Agung terjadi drama antara Allah dan dunia di kayu salib. Namun drama yang lebih dramatis terjadi pada Sabtu Suci. Drama juga terjadi juga di dalam kehidupan Tritunggal. Tiga pribadi ilahi saling mengosongkan diri yang disatukan dalam ikatan cinta. Tritunggal itu yang hidup di dalam Gereja dan memelihara Gereja. Ajaran-ajaran Gereja tidak terbantahkan karena kebenaran Tritunggal itu sendiri.

Cardinal Wyszyński continues teaching about the Holy Spirit as love and as a gift, which comes from the Bible and patristic tradition (eg St. Augustine). The basic text of his reflections on the God of Love are the words from the First Letter of St. John: “God is love” (1 Jn 4: 8, 16). He reads these words, or the shortest definition of God, from the perspective of the Christian and his life experience. In the Holy Spirit, God communicates as love. To be gifted and loved by God means for man to elevate him to the supernatural order. The Holy Spirit, who in the interior life of God is the Love of the Father and the Son, in his self-giving to the world (ad extra), pours God’s love into human hearts (Rom 5: 5), enlivens and dynamises human life. Love as a proprium of the Holy Spirit is also the criterion of Christian identity and of the Church. Important threads of the discussed issue are also the spiritual motherhood of Mary and the establishment of her as the Temple and Bride of the Holy Spirit.

Truth as Love: The Understanding of Truth According to Hans Urs von Balthasar

The key to Balthasar's logic is his understanding of truth as aletheia or unconcealedness. Theologically, the event of truth happens when the Word becomes flesh. Only a methodology from above can account for the leap which is implied in Jesus' affirmation: I am the truth. The unveiling of the truth in the Christ-event, and its presence in the Church through the Holy Spirit shows that the ultimate meaning of truth is love, the love of the three persons of the Trinity revealed in the missions of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Thus Balthasar argues that the only Christian logic is the logic of love, not verified by reason, but grasped through doing the truth in love.

The Trinity

Karl Rahner made a major contribution to the trinitarian theology in this post-modern era. He has attempted to reconcile the classical doctrine of the Trinity with contemporary thought. Rahner spoke about the topic of the oneness and triadity of God. Regarding the oneness of God, Rahner did not speak about the one ousia / divine essence, but rather the unity or perichoresis of the three divine persons. What is called God here, is not the essence of divinity but the Father who is the source of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, Rahner emphasizes the identification and relationship between the immanent Trinity and the economic Trinity which according to him is the important point in the theology of the Trinity. Consequently, the only starting point for developing a theology of the Trinity is the history of our experience with God, in which God reveals Himself in two ways, namely through the Word and the Spirit. This article presents Karl Rahner's thoughts on the Trinity and its relevance to human life. First of all, the author describes about the place of Trinitarian theology in the general framework of Rahner's anthropological theology. Next, it discussed his thoughts on the Trinity itself and at the end, the relevance of the Trinity to human life. This relevance becomes evident in Rahner's thought about the communication of God to man in the form of His Word and Spirit.

Matthias Joseph Scheeben (1835–1888), theologian from Cologne, is regarded as a representative of 19th century scholasticism and nature-grace dualism. Hans Urs von Balthasar considered Scheeben the greatest German theologian of the post-romantic period. Using traditional 19th century scholasticism as a starting point, Scheeben creates a theology which is deeply influenced by the Church Fathers, Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventure, by mystical theology and the theological school of Rome. Understanding the Trinity, Christology and Grace as something intimately interwoven, the mystical marriage between nature and grace becomes the centre of his entire theology. The term, “Connubium divinum” characterises this unique form of the spiritual Eros.

“Might it not be possible, just at this moment when the fortunes of the church seem to be at low ebb, that we may be entering a new age, an age in which the Holy Spirit will become far more central to the faith, an age when the third person of the Trinity will reveal to us more fully who she is?”

The Way

The Christian vision of God is that God is three Persons in one Substance. This vision went beyond Scripture in order to do justice to Jewish monotheism, encounters with Jesus as an agent of divine action, and personal and corporate experiences of the Holy Spirit. Objections based on entanglement with Greek metaphysics and on certain feminist claims about male language fail. Loss of the Trinity involves serious impoverishment of the life and work of the church. Its continued embrace prepares the way for the exploration of the attributes of God.

The Doctrine of Appropriation as an Interpretative Framework for Karl Barth's Pneumatology of the Church Dogmatics

Interpretative Framework

Although Karl Barth is widely recognised as the initiator of the renewal of trinitarian theology in the twentieth century, his theology of the Church Dogmatics has been strongly criticised for its inadequate account of the work of the Holy Spirit. This author argues that the putative weakness of Barth's pneumatology should be reconsidered in light of his doctrine of appropriation. Barth employs the doctrine of appropriation as a hermeneutical procedure, within his doctrine of the Trinity, for bringing to speech the persons of the Trinity in their inseparable distinctiveness. It is argued that the doctrine of appropriation provides a sound interpretative framework for his pneumatology of the Church Dogmatics.

The chapter explores three deeply interlinked aspects of John Zizioulas’s highly influential ecclesiology: the relationship between the church and the Trinity; the relationship between the church and the Eucharist; and finally the consequences of those relationships for the structure of the church. The church is a communion through its participation in the life of the Trinity. In Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit, it receives and re-receives the gift of communion in every Eucharist, and communion has a shape that reflects the life of God. The Trinity is centred on the Father, and so in the church at various levels the communion of the many is centred on one who is the head. This is the purely theological reason why the synodality of the church requires primacy at the local, regional, and universal levels. The chapter concludes that, while prompting many questions and needing further development, Zizioulas’s proposal has great ecumenical value.

In his 1998 article titled “God Inside Out: Toward a Missionary Theology of the Holy Spirit,” Stephen Bevans referred to Johannes Hoekendijk’s 1964 publication The Church Inside Out as his starting point. This article follows Bevans’s lead in exploring Hoekendijk’s legacy and contribution to theology and mission today. At key points I draw the connection of Hoekendijk’s thinking with that of Bevans, highlighting in the end the manner in which they both agree that the church itself is not of ultimate importance to God, but the world into which the Spirit still sends us in mission.
