Format: Paperback
McCall's book offers a clear exposition of contemporary issues in Trinitarian theology. One might even consider it to be in the vein of past works on Trinitarian thought from the likes of Peter Lombard's Sentences. I make this comparison since McCall, like Lombard, is examining accounts from theologians that appear to be divergent, offering critiques of each account, and then attempting a synthesis where possible as a way forward.

This book is in part an exercise in bridge-building between two contemporary theological groups that are unfortunately not as conversant as they ought to be: analytic philosophical theologians and systematic theologians. Attempts to bring these groups together in the past have been rather rocky, but the hope is that they can have a fruitful dialogue. McCall's book shows where such dialogue can in fact take place. He should be applauded for bringing together diverse thinkers like Richard Swinburne and John Zizioulas, and showing where the works of each can bear theological fruit.

The other main thrust of this book is offering a way forward for contemporary Trinitarian theology. For the sake of space I will only mention three issues that make McCall's work important, though many others could be noted. First, he makes it clear that "Trinitarian theology should not conflate Trinitarian doctrine with sociopolitical theological agendas." (224) McCall does not deny that there are practical and ethical implications of the doctrine of the Trinity. In fact, he thinks that "there is something fundamentally correct about the conviction of contemporary theologians that the doctrine of the Trinity is at the heart of the Christian view of God and the world...

I thought this might be rather heavy going so I was very pleasantly surprised to find it enjoyable to read. I am an engineer/physicist that is trying to understand a bit more about the Holy Trinity doctrine so I would have appreciated an appendix with a list of terms used. I needed to have quite a large dictionary at hand to find out what some of the terms meant. Apart from problems with unfamiliar terminology - and writing out my own list of terms - I can recommend this as an interesting and readable book. If I did not have to have a dictionary at hand I would have given this book five stars!

Which Trinity? Whose Monotheism? By Thomas McCall
This is the book I’ve been waiting for; one that I deeply appreciate; one that has taught me a great deal. For me, it hasn’t been an easy read. I’ve had to consult the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy several times. In an email exchange, Dr. McCall even graciously clarified some philosophical terms that I didn’t recognize. More on that later.
I’m a retired pastor with an interest in the history of Christian thought, particularly Pre-Nicene and Nicene theology. So I am somewhat familiar with the theological debates of the 3rd and 4th centuries. Only since retirement, though, have I had the time to catch up on current Trinitarian discussions.
Catching up, I’ve learned from Dr. McCall, means not only that I listen to what (near) contemporary theologians are saying about the Trinity, but also to what analytic philosophers are writing about the Trinity. For they, apparently, are writing some very significant things. Dr. McCall has a good grasp on both disciplines and, in this book, hopes to bring them together—bringing theological considerations to the analytic discussions and analytic clarity to the theological conversations.
McCall brings them together in an interesting, and didactic way. He first presents in broad outline three recent analytical approaches, or elaborations of the doctrine of the Trinity: Social Trinitarianism, Relative Trinitarianism, and Latin Trinitarianism. He states their positions, what critics have said of them, and how proponents have, in turn, answered.
He then reviews the Biblical data and early Christian debates that gave rise to creedal declarations of both monotheism and Trinitarianism.

There are very interesting things being said about the Trinity among analytic theologians (i.e., philosophers of religion in the analytic tradition) but the things they’re saying seem alien to those accustomed to the conversations being had among systematic theologians. McCall expertly helps to introduce readers to what’s being said on all sides and navigate them through some of the more important debates being had.
