| Summary: | The Triune God is not indifferent to the human condition. This article, “The Trinitarian <i>Koinōnia</i> and Its Socio-Economic Implications,” intends to reflect on the inspiration and the critique of the Holy Trinity on human society. It aims at contributing to improving the socio-economic life of the last, the lost, and the least of society. Faith in the mystery of the Holy Trinity can influence human socio-economic relations. On the one hand, the theoretical framework used in this article is that of the classical Catholic method, which reflects on theological pillars (<i>loci theologici</i>). First, the article will reflect on the “theological pillar” (<i>locus theologicus</i>) of the Bible. It will discuss the biblical foundation of the Trinitarian <i>koinōnia</i>. It will then discuss another theological pillar (<i>locus theologicus</i>) of the human context concerning the Trinitarian <i>koinōnia</i>. On the other hand, another theoretical framework to be used is the deductive method. This article will examine whether there are particular socio-economic applications from the general Trinitarian <i>koinōnia.</i> The basic hypothesis is that there is a practical implication to the Christian faith in the Triune God. The Trinitarian <i>oikonomia</i>, when properly understood through, <i>inter alia</i>, Trinitarian <i>koinōnia</i>, can be the icon of the ideal human economics (<i>oikonomia</i>). In this article, we will privilege a systematic and systemic approach.
