Perichoresis (from (ギリシア語:περιχώρησις) ''perikhōrēsis'', "rotation")〔(Perseus under PhiloLogic )〕 describes the relationship between each person of the triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). The word circumincession (later circuminsession) is also used to mean the same idea.〔Cross, F.L.; Livingstone, E.A., eds. (1974). "Circumincession". ''The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church'' (2 ed.). Oxford: Oxford University Press.〕 The term, as used in Christian theology, was first used by the Church Fathers. It is now reinvigorated among contemporary figures such as Jürgen Moltmann, Miroslav Volf, John Zizioulas and C. Baxter Kruger, and others. The noun first appears in the writings of Maximus Confessor (d. 662) but the related verb ''perichoreo'' is found earlier in Gregory of Nazianzus (d. 389/90).〔Prestige, G.L. ''God in Patristic Thought'' SPCK (1964) p. 291〕 Gregory used it to describe the relationship between the divine and human natures of Christ as did John of Damascus (d. 749) but he also extended it to the "interpenetration" of the three persons of the Trinity and it became a technical term for the latter.〔〔Ott, Ludwig. ''Manual de Teología Dogmática'' Barcelona: Herder (1969) p. 131〕 Modern authors extend the original usage as an analogy to cover other interpersonal relationships. The term "co(-)inherence" is sometimes used as a synonym.〔Prestige, G.L. ''God in Patristic Thought'' SPCK (1964) pp. 290ff; & Bettenson, Henry. ''The Early Christian Fathers'' OUP (1976) p. 286; & Brown, Colin ''Karl Barth and the Christian Message'' London:Tyndale (1967) p. 74; & (Catholic Culture.org Dictionary )〕 Since humans are made in the image of God,〔According to Genesis 1:26〕 a Christian understanding of an adequate anthropology of humans' social relations is informed by the divine attributes, what can be known of God's activity and God's presence in human affairs. Theologians of the Communio school such as Hans Urs von Balthasar, Henri de Lubac and Joseph Ratzinger locate the reciprocal dynamism between God and God's creatures in the liturgical action of sacrament, celebrating the sacred mysteries in Eucharistic communion, in a hermeneutic of continuity and apostolic unity. == Etymology == "Perichoresis" is derived from the Greek ''peri'', "around" and ''chorein'', which has multiple meanings among them being "to make room for", "go forward" and "contain".〔(Liddell and Scott, ''s.v.'' I-III )〕 Circumincession from the Latin ''circum'', "around" and ''incedere'' meaning "to go, to step, approach",〔(Online ''Latin lexicon'' ), ''Lewis and Short Latin Dictionary'' at Perseus; entry for "incedo"〕〔Kenneth Baker, S.J., ''Fundamentals of Catholicism: God, Trinity, Creation, Christ, Mary'' New York, Ignatius Press (1983) p. 108〕 the Latin translation being first made by Burgundio of Pisa (d. 1194).〔 The form "Circuminsessio" developed from the similarity in sound.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perichoresis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
