Theology

“Perichoresis is one of the most ancient descriptions of the divine life, and its popularity has exploded in recent theology. Yet this is the first high-quality, systematic treatment of the ‘divine dance’ that I have seen in decades. Gregory Gorsuch has chosen the right authors and topics to both explain and draw the reader in to the magic of this concept. After understanding perichoresis, you will never do theology in quite the same way again.” ―Philip Clayton, author of Adventures in the Spirit “This is first a brilliant and exquisitely detailed exploration of intellectual developments across the disciplines as related to Christian visions of perichoresis. Yet, in setting these developments in dialogue with theological perspectives, Gregory Gorsuch also opens new and challenging vistas of possibility—both in theology and beyond. This is essential reading for anyone concerned with moving beyond the metaphysics of self-contained entities.”
