THE FILIOQUE PROBLEM – HISTORY AND CONTEMPORARY RELEVANCE
Bernd Oberdorfer
Why should we be interested in the Filioque problem? spend time on dealing with one of most subtle subtleties doctrine Trinity as question whether eternal life God Holy Spirit “proceeds” “from Father”, Father alone”, through Son” or and apparently is? And why put effort into understanding a detail within tradition Nicean-Constantipolitanean Creed, Creed which is (at least German Lutheran churches) almost never ever used? Might there imagined that seems to more irrelevant our present problems tasks Church theology?
