The Byzantine Typicon
David Petras
I. What is a Typicon?
The Hypostatic Union
John Froula
In the one divine Person of the Word, Christ is truly God and truly man—two natures united “without confusion, change, division, or separation.”
The Trinity
John Baptist Ku, O.P.
This article examines the doctrine of the Holy Trinity in eleven sections, with special attention to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) and a foundation in the theology of St. Thomas Aquinas. The subdivisions of this article are: the Doctrine of the Trinity; the Trinity in Scripture; the Trinity in the Early Church; the Analogy of the Word and Love; the Father and the Son, the Son and the Holy Spirit; Relations in the Trinity; the Missions of the Divine Persons ; Appropriation; Knowledge of the Trinity as Necessary for Salvation; and The Real Effect of this Doctrine on Our Lives.
Theodicy in the Bible
Matthew J. Ramage
Theodicy strives to reconcile three realities: God’s omnipotence, God’s justice, and the fact that people still suffer and die.
Theological Notes and Censures
Dylan Schrader
A theological note (nota theologica) is a brief description of how a proposition relates to divine revelation.
Theology of Creation
Ghislain-Marie Grange, O.P.
The doctrine of creation, foundational to Scripture and the Creed, addresses the universal human questions of origin and destiny through the interplay of philosophy, biblical revelation, and theological tradition.
Theories of Political Authority
John Macias
Every community depends on authority to function, yet the basis and limits of that authority are far from obvious. This article explores the meaning of political authority in the Catholic intellectual tradition, examining how authority relates to the common good, and what Catholics are called to do when laws and leaders fall short of justice.
