A relação entre trindade económica e trindade imanente

: a releitura de Luis F. Ladaria do Axioma Fundamental de Karl Rahner

Abstract

This dissertation deals with the relationship between the economic Trinity and the immanent Trinity, taking as its starting point one of the most emblematic formulations of the 20th century as far as Trinitarian theology is concerned, namely Karl Rahner’s fundamental axiom. In this sense, the first chapter explores the Rahnerian theology, looking for possible precedents for this formulation. This will be followed study of the formulation itself and its consequences for theology and, finally, of its reception and interpretation by some theologians. Once the starting point has been presented, the second chapter introduces the central author of this study, namely the Spanish theologian Luis F. Ladaria, and his interpretation and reformulation of the Rahnerian axiom. Finally, the last chapter explores three themes worked on by Ladaria within the framework of Trinitarian theology: the unity-Trinity binomial, the person of the Father within the Trinity and the person of the Holy Spirit and his relationship with the other divine persons. This approach aims to show the influence that the presuppositions offered by Rahner’s axiom and deepened in the reformulation assumed by Ladaria are present in his own reflection and theological criticism in the area trinitarian Theology.
