In this book one of the leading and most popular theologians of our time develops themes he first introduced in 'The Promise of Trinitarian Theology' in 1992, a book which continues to be widely read and used as a textbook in Christian Doctrine throughout the world.Each essay addresses a topic of central importance in Trinitarian theology, ranging from the knowledge of God to the Christian sacraments. Together they reflect in particular on an increasing interest in the doctrine of the Holy Spirit and its bearing on the structure of the doctrine of the Trinity and its various sub-themes of Christology and soteriology etc.All but two of the fourteen chapters are published here for the first time.

Review
"...particularly helpful in offering a compact but exceptionally profound and accessible summary of the meaning of the doctrine of the Trinity for the Christian church. As such, it will be appreciated in a variety of teaching settings, in both the classroom and the congregation. The more specialized essays in the book's second section have their high points, including Gunton's characteristically strong emphasis upon the importance of the doctrine of the Trinity for properly maintaining a sufficient theological distinction between the Creator and the creation." -- Institute for Reformed Theology Bulletin, Fall 2005 (Institute for Reformed Theology Bulletin )

"Running throughout the book is the central concern to restore the work of the Spirit to proper prominence in Reformed theology, as the Trinitarian focus of the inseparability of God's being and God's action with an eye to the interrelationship of theology and life. Colin Gunton is at his best in doing "big picture" theological synthesis, and with this in mind, the first five chapters are perhaps the most effective and useful." -The Bulletin of the Institute for Reformed Theology Fall 2005
