                                                                          Some Thoughts on the External Works of the Trinity

Rule: opera trinitatis ad extra indivisa sunt.

Even so:

Creation qua appropriated may be said to be the work

• of the Father,
• through the Son,
• in the Holy Spirit.

Redemption qua appropriated may be said to be the work

• of the Son,
• from the Father,
• through the Holy Spirit.

Sanctification qua appropiated may be said to be the work

• of the Holy Spirit,
• from the Father,
• through the Son.

Consummation qua appropriated may be said to be the work

• of the Father,
• through the Son,
• in the Holy Spirit.
