There has been a recent revival of interest in the doctrine of
divine simplicity in systematic and philosophical theology,
following decades of intense reflection on the tri-personhood of
the Christian God. While recent studies have produced a greater
appreciation of patristic and scholastic theologies, they have not
yet engaged in dialogue with proponents of the trinitarian revival
that emerged in the latter half of the twentieth century in
anything other than polemical terms. This book offers a theological
defense of the doctrine of divine simplicity through careful
reading of both exemplary historical theologians and Robert W.
Jenson, an important American contributor to the trinitarian
revival. After tracing continuities and discontinuities amongst
select historical theologians, the book approaches Jenson with a
multivalent account of divine simplicity. The result is a more
nuanced interpretation of Jenson's theology, an account of divine
simplicity that responds to perceived problems, and new
constructive proposals for divine simplicity in trinitarian
theology.
