Koren, R. V. The Holy Trinity Dogma: Philosophical and Theological Methods of Studying it and Their Consequences

Abstract: The article is devoted to the philosophical and theological interpretation of the fundamental Holy Trinity dogma. It is shown that philosophical methodology allows to expand the borders of knowledge and to raise accuracy. The latter allows to conduct analysis of sufficiency of sources and grounds of Orthodox Dogmatics. The author of the article also shows that the presence of the two sources at once, Holy Bible and Apostolic Holy Tradition creates contradictions for the main Holy Trinity Dogma. There should be the three sources of Dogmatics. Using the complementary principle, the author shows that the third source should include the Words said by Jesus Christ when alive. Such source can be the Sermon on the Mount or Gospel of Thomas.
