Description

The book aims at showing the most important topics and paradigms in modern Trinitarian theology. It is supposed to be a comprehensive guide to the many traces of development of Trinitarian faith. As such it is thought to systematize the variety of contemporary approaches to the field of Trinitarian theology in the present philosophical-cultural context. The main goal of the publication is not only a description of what happened to Trinitarian theology in the modern age. It is rather to indicate the typically modern specificity of the Trinitarian debate and - first of all - to encourage development in the main areas and issues of this subject.

Reviews

Different individual essays will almost certainly be useful, engaging or revelatory to each reader. -- Miranda Threlfall-Holmes, Belmont, Durham * Modern Believing *
This volume assembles a star-cast of international scholars- Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant - to reflect on current transformations in Trinitarian theology and to assess the implications of these debates for church and society. Precisely because the contributors manifestly do not agree on some central areas of contention, the volume catches a moment of significant theological transition and provides an invaluable resource for ecumenical debate, discussion and teaching. The editors are to be congratulated on their choice of materials. -- Sarah Coakley, Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge
Trinitarian theology has been a major area of creative and controversial debate in recent decades. The editors have done a great job bringing together essays from leading contributors to this debate to create a unique tool for all those who need information about the current state of the discussion. The selection is judicious and takes into account the various disciplinary and confessional angles from which the topic has been approached. As well as providing an expert overview of where we are at the moment, the book is thus likely to serve as the starting point for further explorations in this field. -- Johannes Zachhuber, Faculty of Theology, University of Oxford, UK.
