A Brief History of the Doctrine of the Trinity in the Early Church Quotes

“From a Christian perspective, history is by no means a manifest victory parade by God through the world, but finds its image in the way of his incarnate Son to the cross – an image which discards the categories of victory and defeat, failure and success, because the surface reality alone cannot catch his true significance. Anyone who has the strength to see all history in this perspective will also not be too amazed or shaken by the questionable aspects of church politics. It is not the disputes, the interplay of power games and intrigues or the many indications of human narrowness that are astounding, but the fact that despite everything this chaos time and again opens up a glimpse of the depth dimensions of the (trinitarian) faith.”
― Franz Dünzl, A Brief History of the Doctrine of the Trinity in the Early Church
