In this article, I explore the protological and eschatological dimensions of the Trinity, critiquing and building upon the doctrines of Karl Barth and Robert Jenson. The traditional Trinitarian doctrine often separates God’s eternal life from His saving economy. Barth, in his Church Dogmatics, emphasizes their inseparability. Jenson critiques Barth for continuing to abstract God’s eternal life from His historical acts, proposing an eschatological view of the immanent Trinity as the fulfillment of God's economic actions. I argue for critically integrating their perspectives, claiming that both the primordial existence and eschatological fulfillment of the Trinity are essential. Finally, I propose a soteriological panentheism that reconciles these dimensions, highlighting the interaction between God’s eternal nature and temporal creation. View this paper
