DOXOLOGY TO THE HOLY TRINITY

“Glory be to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” According to the historian Philostorgius, around 350 the Nicene opponents of Leontius of Antioch composed the doxology “Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,” emphasizing that both the Son and the Holy Spirit were consubstantial with the Father.

This was in contrast to the traditional Antiochene version, “Glory be to the Father through the Son and in the Holy Spirit,” which seemed to imply a subordination of the latter two to the Father.
