Michael Robbins: There's the formulation that's always cited, it's in Irenaeus, but I don't know if he was the first to formulate it, that the patristic tradition is concerned to show that God became a human so that humans could become God.

David Bentley Hart: Well, in fact, all of Christian doctrinal history—during, that is, what the Orthodox would consider the conciliar period, which ends with the Seventh Council—is premised entirely on that. That is the ground of all Christian doctrine. Again, I've been attacked for pointing out what is simply historical fact about the Council of Nicaea: that the Nicene doctrine was arrived at not based on a long dogmatic tradition, which made its theology obviously more authoritative than the theology of those it was struggling against. Quite the opposite, in fact. At least, it was much more a creative and hermeneutical retrieval of the past and also a synthesis. But what gave it its strength was that it was the only adequate way of expressing a Trinitarian theology—and then a Christology, in the following councils—that answered the aporias of the Arians, or the Eunomians, and then in time the various Christological factions or parties who were struggling with one another and against Nicaea. This was what carried the day—it's only God who could join us to God.

David Bentley Hart, in conversation with Michael Robbins

Rejected, therefore, are all the heresies that are opposed to this article, such as the Manichaeans, who posited two gods, one good and one evil; the Valentinians, the Arians, the Eunomians, the Mohammedans, and all others like them.

~Augsburg Confession 1:5

Oration No27, The first Theological Oration. (An introductory sermon against the Eunomians*) By St Gregory The Theologian (330-390AD). Translation prof.Frederick Williams.St Vladimir Seminary Press.

I I shall address my words to those whose cleverness is in words. Let me begin from Scripture: “Lo, I am against you and your pride.”2 There are people, believe me, who not only have “itching ears”:3 their tongues, also and now, I see, even their hands itch to attack my arguments. They delight in the “profane and vain babblings and contradictions of the Knowledge falsely so-called,”4 and in…

Essential Aseity and the Eastern Fathers

Scholar Nathan Jacobs argues that the Eastern fathers do not hold to a view of essential aseity. Now, given the predominance of essential aseity in much Western trinitarian thought, such a view might seem rather scandalous.

Jacob’s, on the other hand, sees it as simply an entailment of the Eastern fathers moderate realism. He supports his claim by way of contrast with the Eunomian view of natures.

The Eunomian case places the principle of existence in nature rather than subject. In other words, the Eunomian instinct is that existence...is essential to the divine nature. Hence, any subject having the divine nature has existence by virtue of being divine.

On the Eunomian view, the Son who is begotten and originate, cannot be of and identical with the divine nature, which is itself the principle of existence. Aseity is proper to natures and the Son, who is begotten, is not a se. He must be of a different nature than the having-no-cause-whatsoever (a se) Father.

More than that, the Father must be “of a nature that is ontologically superior to that of the Son and the Holy Spirit--the Father being unoriginate (or a se), while the Son and the Spirit are originate (not a se).”

The Eastern fathers, on the other hand:

...being moderate realists, reject the point. Existence is never a property, accidental or essential, of natures. Existence is only ever located in subjects that give concrete reality to natures – hence their use of hypostasis, or that which exists underneath a nature.

He explains further:

...the Eastern fathers make clear that natures are mere abstractions that lack stability (stasis, playing on the term hypostasis) and thus require a hypostasis to supply concrete existence. This is why they also insist that the hypostasis is logically anterior to the nature. That is to say, the nature stands upon the individual, not vice versa. Put otherwise, individuals exist; natures subsist in individuals. And to be clear, the Eastern fathers do not make an exception for things divine.

This approach of the Eastern fathers has a startling implication:

Applied to the Trinity, this means that the Father exists a se (in himself); the divine nature subsists in the Father. Thus, there is no "essential aseity," since the divine nature does not (and cannot) exist in itself...Since aseity implies having no cause whatsoever, the term is applicable to the Father only, according to Eastern patristic thought.

This Eastern fathers’ view of natures and its application to the Trinity is what counters the Eunomian position that only the Father can be of the divine nature.

On the Eastern fathers’ view, because aseity is an incommunicable idiomata of the Father’s hypostasis, the begotten Son and spirated Spirit can both be of the divine nature.

In other words, the Son and Spirit can be both fully divine--fully identical to the divine nature--and yet remain begotten and spirated, respectively, while the Father alone is a se--”having no cause whatsoever.”

Using the logic that arises from their view of natures, Jacobs says the Eastern fathers push further into their disagreement with the Eunomian position:

The Cappadocians point out that the Eunomians commit a category error in this claim [the Father is ontologically superior because he is a se], confusing efficient cause (how a thing is) with formal cause (what a thing is). All three have the same nature but the Father has it from no one, while the Son has it by begetting and the Spirit by spiration. Just as Adam, Eve, and Abel have three different efficient causes (unbegotten of man, proceeding from Adam, and begotten of Adam) but share a common nature, and are thus ontological equals, so the divine hypostases differ in efficient cause (unbegotten, begotten, and procession) but share a common nature, being ontological equals [in other words, not subordinate].

Thoughts

If Jacob’s reading of the Eastern fathers is correct, it has important historical and theological significance for pro-Nicene logic and trinitarianism.

Importantly, for my interests, this view also accords beautifully with the strong Monarchy of the Father view of the Trinity. The one God is the Father, the a se hypostasis. He is the source and cause of the Son and the Spirit (with all the appropriate qualifications, of course).

Additionally, because the Father is the principle of existence, not the divine nature, it is he that communicates his nature to the Son and the Spirit. They are identical to his divine nature. They are homoousios with him. The Father then is both the source of unity and distinction in the Trinity.

An important question is how might Jacob’s observation be understood in light of Western or Latin views that argue for the essential aseity of the Son? I’d love to hear from others on that question.

My only caution, as I’ve written about before, is that as this question is addressed that we not flatten or bend pro-Nicene trinitarianism so as to remake it in the image of current in-favor idioms.

Now she was untrue as a spouse from the beginning

However, lastly, I used to be once more constrained to proceed with this historical past, given that future tyrants may even see additionally that those that thus err can not keep away from retribution ultimately, because the individuals of whom I write suffered that judgment. Moreover, the disclosure of those actions and tempers can be printed all the time, and in consequence others will maybe really feel much less urge to transgress.

For who now would know of the unchastened lifetime of Semiramis or the insanity of Sardanapalus or Nero, if the document had not thus been written by males of their very own occasions?

Moreover, even those that undergo equally ‘-from later tyrants won’t discover this narrative fairly unprofitable. For the depressing discover consolation within the philosophy that not on them alone has evil fallen.

Accordingly, I start the story. First I shall reveal the folly of Belisarius, after which the depravity of Justinian and Theodora.

1. How the nice basic Belisarius was hoodwinked by his spouse

The daddy of Belisarius’s spouse, a girl whom I’ve talked about in my former books, was (and so was her grandfather) a charioteer, exhibiting that commerce in Constantinople and Thessalonica. Her mom was one of many wenches of the theater; and she or he herself from the primary led an totally wanton life. Acquainted with magic medication utilized by her mother and father earlier than her, she discovered the way to use these of compelling qualities and have become the wedded spouse of Belisarius, after having already borne many youngsters.

Now she was untrue as a wife from the start, however was cautious to hide her indiscretions by the same old precautions; not from any awe of her partner (for she by no means felt any disgrace at something) and fooled him simply along with her deceptions), however as a result of she feared the punishment of the Empress. For Theodora hated her, and had already proven her tooth.

However when that Queen grew to become concerned in difficulties, she received her friendship by serving to her, first to destroy Silverius, as shall be associated presently, and later to spoil John of Cappadocia, as I’ve informed elsewhere. After that, she grew to become an increasing number of fearless, and casting all concealment apart, deserted herself to the winds of want.

There was a youth from Thrace in the home of Belisarius: Theodosius by title, and of the Eunomian heresy by descent. On the eve of his expedition to Libya, Belisarius baptized this boy in holy water and acquired him in his arms as a member henceforth of the household, welcoming him together with his spouse as their son, based on the Christian ceremony of adoption.
