Book Description

July 1997
Here, Professor Gunton argues that the theology of the Trinity has profound implications for all dimensions of human life. Our understanding of personhood, relationship, otherness, communion, for example, can be developed significantly if we think of God in a Trinitarian way. This in turn, he argues, can illuminate our understanding of the Creation, the ideas of freedom, the nature of the human being.

In this new edition, Professor Gunton reviews the latest important works in this area in an extended preface and offers new chapters on the Church and contemporary culture and atonement.

"...this book is dense, clear, enlightening, brilliant..". Theological Studies



Editorial Reviews

Review

"A fresh perspective on a classical theological topic. Theologians most of all, but philosophers of religion and historians of Christianity as well, should profit from his clear and critical insights." --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent discussion of the trinity, June 29, 1999
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Erudite, Difficult, Worthwhile, May 31, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.
