This short volume, finished just before Denis Farkasfalvy's death
in 2020, serves effectively as his last theological testament. In A
Biblical Path to the Triune God, the Cistercian abbot identifies
the earliest biblical witnesses to the Church's teaching about God,
formulated at the Council of Nicaea, as Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit. Jesus' famous praise of the Father, found almost
word-for-word in Matthew 11:25-27 and Luke 10:21-22, is
Farkasfalvy's point of departure for his bold assertion that in the
earliest sources, we find abundant evidence that "it was not Jesus
who revealed his own divine sonship; rather, the Father revealed it
to those whom Jesus had chosen and were open to respond in faith."
Farkasfalvy demonstrates that Jesus reveals his relationship to the
Father in terms of intimate and experiential knowledge,
transforming the procreative metaphor of filiation from the
physical (as in the Psalms and 2 Samuel 7) to the epistemological
realm of knowledge, what he calls "love within cognitive
dimensions." Just decades after Jesus' ministry, numerous
independent apostolic witnesses, from the Synoptic Gospels and John
to Paul (especially Romans 1:1-4 and Galatians 1:15-16), indicate a
robust and widespread understanding of the Father's self-disclosure
in Jesus the Son. Farkasfalvy concludes his brief but intense
reflection by outlining how a single organic process of revelation
binds together the Father and the Son, and then extends that loving
communion to believers in the Spirit, a communion made possible
only by the incarnate Son's crucifixion and subsequent
glorification. This book accomplishes the admirable feat of showing
that far from being the invention of later centuries, the
Trinitarian doctrine of the Church is firmly rooted in the very
first reflections on Jesus' ministry and mystery by the biblical
authors.
