CHAPTER XIV: QUESTION 40 THE PERSONS IN COMPARISON WITH THE RELATIONS


INTRODUCTION

Many commentators (e. g., Billuart) present the doctrine of this question as a commentary of question 29, article 4, namely, whether a divine person is constituted by a relation, to which the reply is in the affirmative: a divine personality is a relation as subsisting and incommunicable. The same doctrine is now taken up again to be considered synthetically and not analytically, as earlier.
