Perichoresis, Scot McKnight, Gregory of Nyssa, Trinitarian theology, The Trinity

May 24th, 2006

Scot McKnight writes in Embracing Grace, [p.34] “Perichoresis goes back the Gospel of John and was later explained more completely by one of the first theologians of Asia Minor, Gregory of Nyssa.  John tells us in chapter 10 that Jesus said, “The Father is in me and I am in the Father.”  The doctrine of the perichoresis teaches that God exists as an interpenetrating and mutual indwelling of the personos of the Trinity.  In other words, God’s eternal reality is the love between Father, Son and Holy Spirit”.  Now that is great picture of Trinitarian love.
