The Relationship between the Word and the Spirit: An Outline of Yves Congar's Trinitarian TheologyAbstract
The purpose of this study is to explore Trinitarian theology through the lens of the thought of Yves Congar, one of the theologians who exercised a profound influence upon the Second Vatican Council. Congar, in his capacity as an authority on pneumatology, made a significant contribution to the rediscovery of the role of the Holy Spirit in Catholic theology. The study focuses on the organic relationship between the Spirit and the Word, thereby disclosing the manner in which the Triune God acts within the history of salvation. Through an analysis of Congar's pneumatology, this article will illuminate the salient features of his Trinitarian theology, particularly his understanding of the relationship between the economic and the immanent Trinity. This study not only serves to deepen our understanding of Congar's thought but also opens new perspectives upon the mystery of the Trinity in contemporary theology.
