“Throughout eternity there is, then, at the heart of God this yearning that is perpetually satisfied, simultaneously satisfied as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit eternally love one another and dwell in one another. We’re made in the image of that God. So there’s a part of our heart that longs for Perichoresis, that longs to dwell in another.” — Greg Boyd
“The trinitarian perichoresis manifests that highest intensity of living which we call divine life and eternal love; and, conversely, God’s infinite intensity of life is manifested in the eternal perichoresis of the divine Persons. … We should see it as at once the most intense excitement and the absolute rest of the love which is the wellspring of everything that lives, the keynote of all resonances, and the source of the rhythmically dancing and vibrating worlds.” — Jürgen Moltmann
“The good news of the gospel is that God has opened up the dynamics of his triune life and given us a share in that fellowship.” – Fred Sanders
“Jesus manifestly did not intend to leave behind him simply a body of teaching. If that had been his intention he would surely have written a book and we should have something like the Qur’an instead of the book we have. What he did was to prepare a community chosen to be the bearer of the secret of the kingdom. This community is his legacy.” — Lesslie Newbigin
