About this listen

In this episode of Theology Unpacked, Dr John Moffatt SJ explores the development of the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, from the Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople to the theological contributions of figures like the Cappadocians and Augustine.

Using philosophical terms and analogies, it explains how Christians came to understand one God in three distinct yet united persons—Father, Son, and Spirit—whose identities are defined by their relationships.

Artistic and liturgical expressions, such as Rublev’s icon, complement this theology by visually conveying the unity and diversity of the divine in ways that resonate with both scripture and spiritual experience.
