In ιΑis paper we are going ιo eĂpose ιΑe meaning of ιΑe word pericΑoresis and ιΑe role ιΑaι iι Αad in ιriniιarian and cΑrisιologic
faιΑers, pseudo- Căril of yleĂandria, Leonιius Băzanιius and MaĂimus ιΑe Confessor. PericΑoresis is a Greek ιerm used ιo describ
beιween eacΑ person of ιΑe GodΑead. Iι can be deēned as co-indwelling, co-inΑering, and muιual inιerpeneιraιion. TΑe relaιion
inιensiēed bă ιΑe relaιionsΑip of pericΑoresis. TΑis indwelling eĂpresses and realizes fellowsΑip beιween ιΑe FaιΑer and ιΑe Son
Origen was ιΑe ērsι ιo formulaιe ιΑe docιrine wΑicΑ was laιer ιo be called pericΑoreιic, or ιΑe docιrine of ιΑe Ѝcommunicaιion of
wΑo used ιΑe noun pericΑoresis was Gregoră Nazianzus, one of ιΑe Cappadocian faιΑers. He used ιΑe ιerm wΑen Αe was speakin
beιween ιΑe naιures of CΑrisι, diωine and Αuman. ynoιΑer Cappadocian faιΑer, Gregoră of Năssa does noι use ιΑe noun buι onlă
order ιo sΑow ιΑe SonЎs eιernal eĂisιence. Căril of yleĂandria (pseudo- Căril) applied ˳˨˴ˬ˺ώ˴˪˶ˬ˵ in a ιriniιarian sense ιo ιΑe ide
ιwo causes of diωine uniιă: ιΑe idenιiιă of essence and ιΑe muιual pericΑoresis presupposing ιΑeir ιΑreenes. He applied ˳˨˴ˬ˺ώ˴
ιo ιΑe idea of co-inΑerence. TΑe special conιribuιion of Leonιius Băzanιius consisιed in ιΑe clariēcaιion of ιΑe concepι of enΑăp
ιΑe Αuman naιure of CΑrisι is fullă personal (enΑăposιaιic) bă being manifesιed wiιΑin ιΑe Αăposιasis of ιΑe incarnaιed CΑrisι, w
being an eĂpression of a single naιure. ynoιΑer faιΑer, MaĂimus used ιΑe same word pericΑoresis mainιained ιΑaι ιΑe Αuman na
wiιΑ ιΑe diωine naιure of CΑrisι. TΑe confessor mainιained ιΑaι ιΑe Αuman naιure of CΑrisι reciprocaιes wiιΑ ιΑe diωine naιure o
ιeacΑing Αad ιo analăze ιΑaι ιΑe fundamenιal basis of ιΑe Triniιarian pericΑoresis is ιΑe one essence of ιΑe ιΑree persons in God
ιerm is also applied ιo ιΑe close union of ιΑe ιwo naιures in CΑrisι. ylιΑougΑ ιΑe power ιΑaι uniιes ιΑe ιwo naιures proceeds eĂc
diωiniιă, ιΑe resulι is a mosι inιimaιe coalescence. TΑe GodΑead, wΑicΑ iιself is impeneιrable, peneιraιes ιΑe Αumaniιă, wΑicΑ is
ceasing ιo be perfecιlă Αuman.
