| Summary: | This paper assesses the viability of the model of collective action for the understanding of the doctrine of the inseparability of trinitarian operations, broadly conceived within a Social-Trinitarian framework. I argue that a loose understanding of this inseparability as unity of intention is insufficiently monotheistic and that it can be tightened by an understanding of the ontology of triune operations analogically modelled after collective actions of a constitutive kind. I also show that attention to the description relativity of action ascriptions can potentially move us beyond the impasse of the doctrine of appropriation. Finally, I respond to potential objections. |
