Publisher's Description
This provocative collection of papers from an international array of theologians explores the Christian doctrine of the Trinity in the context of twentieth-century cultural and religious pluralism. How should Christians think about their faith in relation to other faiths and in relation to culture in general? Can the Trinity fit into a global religion? These essays — originally presented at the Fifth Edinburgh Dogmatic Conference — show how a full-orbed Trinitarian doctrine, with a proper emphasis on both the One and the Three, provides the necessary resources for successfully addressing the problems and the possibilities of contemporary pluralism. Gary Badcock Richard Bauckham Henri Blocher Gerald Bray Colin Gunton Trevor Hart Lesslie Newbigin Roland Poupin Kevin J. Vanhoozer Stephen Williams

“In an age dominated by philosophical pluralism and process theology, it is encouraging to read a collection of essays most of which draw on biblical and historical resources to think through the doctrine of the Trinity afresh. In some ways these essays are set over against contemporary trends, yet never in an obscurantist fashion. While most of them overtly maintain orthodoxy, they also attempt to engage the contemporary debate both wisely and well, and some of them are groundbreaking. This book deserves wide circulation.”
