About This Book

In this important book, Chung-Hyun Baik explores one of the central issues in contemporary Trinitarian theology: the relationship between the economic and immanent Trinity. Engaging a wide variety of Trinitarian theologians and contemporary philosophers, Baik offers a vital analysis of the ontological and epistemological issues that bear on a proper understanding of the doctrine of the Trinity. Noting that the meaning of mystery in the New Testament is Jesus Christ himself, Baik argues that, in order to rightly approach the question of the relationship between the immanent and the economic Trinity, it is necessary to understand the mystery of the divine being as centered in Christ himself. Moreover, Christ is not merely a device for resolving epistemological or ontological tensions, but rather the fullness of the divine mystery, and as such, must be determinative of all such theological and philosophical questions.

Context
between 
God 
in 
Godself 
and 
God 
for 
us. 
To 
be 
brief, 
for 
Aquinas, 
God 
the 
Father 
utters 
not 
only 
Himself 
but 
also 
us. 
God 
the 
Father 
loves 
not 
only 
the 
Son 
but 
also 
us 
by 
the 
Holy 
Spirit. 
erefore, 
God 
in 
Godself 
is 
not 
different 
from 
God 
for 
us.

ere 
are 
many 
recent 
scholars 
who 
grasp 
an 
inseparably 
intimate 
relationship 
between 
processio
and 
missio
, 
or 
between 
the 
immanent 
and 
the 
economic 
Trinity. 
For 
example, 
Anselm 
K. 
Min 
argues 
that, 
for 
Aquinas, 
“the 
doctrine 
of 
the 
immanent 
Trinity 
is 
essential 
to 
the 
doctrine 
of 
the 
economic 
Trinity.”

Emery, 
using 
the 
terms 
“the

and 
“the 
creative 
Trinity,” 
maintains 
that, 
for 
Aquinas, 
“the 
study 
of 
the 
divine 
Trinity 
in 
its 
immanent 
life 
[the 
immanent 
Trinity] 
is 
not 
separated 
from 
the 
study 
of 
creation 
or 
of 
the 
economy 
of 
salvation 
[the 
creative 
Trinity].”
