The quotation at the top is Romans 1.20. From the left to the right are: Genesis 1.1-2; Psalm 33.6; Matthew 28.19; Romans 2.7.
The Hebrew inscriptions, from top to bottom, are: "Yahweh", the sacred tetragrammaton, "devar", meaning "word", and "ruah elohim", meaning "the spirit of God".
The main text relates the symbolism within the picture to the Athanasian and Nicene creeds, both of which are Trinitarian forms developed around the time of the Council of Chalcedon in 451. They emphasise the "double succession" of spirit from both God the Father and the Son
