The Development of Johannine Motifs in Hilary's Doctrine of the Trinity
In an earlier paper, I attempted to analyse the primitive apostolic discernment of triunity on the basis of a phenomenological model of religious discernment (Otto, Eliade, Ramsey) and a recent biblical study of the prayer life of Jesus (Jeremias).

Summary: | In an earlier paper, I attempted to analyse the primitive apostolic discernment of triunity on the basis of a phenomenological model of religious discernment (Otto, Eliade, Ramsey) and a recent biblical study of the prayer life of Jesus (Jeremias). At the close of that paper, I suggested that Hilary's doctrine of the Trinity might be especially meaningful in the terms of such an analysis, thus providing a possible connexion between the empirical life of Jesus and the high doctrine of the fourth-century fathers. In the present study, I wish to examine Hilary's approach in more detail in order to see how the basic discernment motifs found in the gospels (especially John) unfold into the complex set of propositions that has long since become the hallmark of orthodox trinitarianism. |
