A reissue of a brilliant and accessible introduction to Trinitarian thought. Colin Gunton argues that the theology of the Trinity has profound implications for all dimensions of human life. Central to his work is his argument that the doctrine should offer ways of articulating the being of God and of the world so that we may be better able to live before God and with each other.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent discussion of the trinity,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Promise of Trinitarian Theology (Paperback)
Colin Gunton does a good job discussing the implications of the Trinity. He holds to the creeds and bases his theology off the early church fathers (mainly the Cappadocians) and scripture. The only drawback to this book is that it can be technical at times and hard to follow. I also wish he quoted more scripture. But the values outweigh the drawbacks. For anyone searching for a book that will illuminate the doctrine of the Trinity and discuss its implications for life this is a must have.

This review is from: Promise of Trinitarian Theology (Paperback)
A prolific and knowledgeable scholar who left us much too soon, Gunton offers here the best of his many studies of a basic Christian doctrine. Though the experts continue to debate this point or that in Gunton's analyses, this book remains indispensable on a subject of critical importance in Christian theology.
