- 'God as such'
- Son / Word / Logos
- distinct 'modes of subsisting'

- Spirit
- distinct 'modes of subsisting'
- God self communicates as 'love
- strengths
- avoids modalism
- consistent with God of grace
- mystery is confirmed - he can only be known through economic trinity
- weaknesses
- Jurgen Moltmann - modes of subsisting is actually modalism

- modal monarchism
- if Son and Spirit are 'modes of subsisting'...
