Spirit Christology has emerged as an important focus in recent
theology. It offers new perspectives on Christology and
Pneumatology. Can these new perspectives lead to advances in
trinitarian theology itself? The classical theologies of both East
and West tended to express great reserve about moving too easily
from the economy of salvation to ideas about God in se. In the
twentieth century, Karl Rahner's argument that the 'economic'
Trinity is the 'immanent' Trinity and vice versa helped lead to a
significant erosion of this reserve, though not without
controversy. The work of David Coffey represents a significant
contribution to reflection on this nexus of questions. This book
examines his treatment of the relation of Spirit Christology to
Logos Christology, his reformulation of Rahner's axiom, and his
suggestion that Spirit Christology offers an 'ascending' basis for
a 'mutual love' Pneumatology, in the service of a renewed
trinitarian theology. It presents an analysis of Coffey's
achievement in its various contexts, historical and contemporary.
It highlights his methodological balance and argues that his
theology represents an important development within the tradition,
casting new light on issues of pressing contemporary interest.
