Sažetak
The principle of monarchy (autocracy) of God the Father is the most important theological principle of Orthodox Triadology. Therefore it is not surprising that it is in the centre of theological interest of the leading Orthodox theologian Metropolitan John Zizioulas. Zizioulas finds the principle of monarchy in the ancient symbols of faith and, primarily, in the theology of Cappadocian Fathers. This principle enables the Christian faith to be monotheistic, but also to set up triunity. Belief in one God implies belief in one God the Father who gives birth to the Son and brings the Holy Spirit. What was especially important for the 4th century context and also for Zizioulas is the issue of relationship between the divine essence and personhood. Emphasizing the principle of monarchy implies God the Father who freely, unconditionally, and also including the divine essence, gives birth to the omni-temporal Son and brings the Spirit. For Zizioulas, the significance of the principle of monarchy of God the Father is not only a theological issue – it is also expressed in the Eucharistic experience and ethos of the Church.
