| Summary: | John Henry Newman preached frequently on the mystery of the Trinity. A Patristic scholar in his own right, he was well versed in the theological disputes and developments of the Early Church. Out of this Patristic influence, combined with his love of scripture, emerges an interesting contribution to Trinitarian theology. Newman's emphasis on a Personal God diminishes the person/nature distinction in God. For Newman, the Father is God. The divine nature is the person of the Father. The divine commonality with respect to the Son and the Spirit is the person of the Father. In devotional speech, Newman slides seamlessly between the Father and Son, or the Father and Spirit, as the person of the Father who primarily defines `God.' |
