Explores the structure of human participation in the triune life. Focuses on the question of describing the 'members' of the Trinity as 'persons'; how language functions in describing God in such terms; and the underlying models which shape our theological perspective.
'Dr Torrance does not merely engage in a survey; rather he seeks to challenge certain existing models for theological reflection and replace them with a new one... This is not a book for the faint hearted! It is an erudite and scholarly work of considerable depth and density which requires (but repays) careful and sustained study.' A. T. B. McGowan, Highland Theological Institute, Scottish Bulletin of Evangelical Theology
