The Trinity from the Eastern Orthodox perspective.

This is AS GOOD as you will probably ever find.

Enlightening on the distinction of "energies and essence" is a comment that we may not know the Spirit in His full hypostasis as the rest of the Trinity does, but ONLY insofar AS WE ARE WORTHY. That is the limitation. We know the Trinity BY GRACE as they do by nature. But that is a difference.

Enlightening.

Did anyone listen to it?

True, it is about 45 minutes long. But it begins well, keeps things experiential rather than theoretical, and firmly grounds the few technical things where they both belong and began -- in the Gospel!

I very much recommend downloading a copy.

And, for fun, please tell me if you listened to it.

Thanks!

I'd be interested in reading it. I'm not much for listening to sermons.

Thanks.

I don't know whether a transcription was made or not. From the audio we could tell that he'd simplified his talk A LOT while driving to the conference that morning -- good choice.

You could contact him at the seminary he teaches at; but, again, his original notes would be much more involved. I'm betting you will prefer what is on audio.

Give it a try. Can you both listen and do something else at the same time? Turn it up loud.
