REIMER, Johannes. Trinitarian spirituality: Relational and missional. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2019, vol.75, n.1, pp.1-11. ISSN 2072-8050.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/hts.v75i1.5348.

In recent years, Orthodox views on trinitarian theology have enriched the Evangelical discourse on mission and spirituality. Very few sources of Orthodox thought have influenced this discourse more than the hesychastic beliefs and praxis of the medieval Russian spiritual leader Sergii of Radonezh, as expressed by his disciple, the famous icon painter Andrey Rublev. This article discusses the theology of Rublev, follows its spirituality and explores a correlation between the inner-trinitarian spirituality and God´s mission, establishing what is called a trinitarian cycle of the missio Dei.

Keywords : Mission of God; Russian Orthodox Theology; Hesychasm; Trinity; Trinitarian theology; Correlation between mission and spirituality.
