In Berkhof's chapter on the Trinity in "A Summary of Christian Doctrine" (along with his Manual and his ST), he makes the following statement: "The distinctive characteristic of the Father is that he generates the Son from all eternity."
This is repeated in his section on the Son when he says "By means of eternal generation, the Father is the cause of the personal existence of the Son within the Divine Being." I'm curious as to how he is using the words "generates/generation" here and his implication from these statements.
