Description
Summary:This article addresses the issue of an ecumenical understanding of subsistit, comparing the former Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger's with Eberhard Jüngel's Ecclesiology. According to Ratzinger, the ecclesiological subsistit has a Christological foundation, whereas, according to Jüngel, the term must be understood within the framework of a Trinitarian theology. The author argues that these alternative interpretations of subsistit can be united on the basis of the self-communication of the Trinitarian God. Thus the context in which to understand the subsistit should be the oikonomia rather than the theologia.
