Norgate assesses the way in which the Christian doctrine of the
Trinity is the foundation for all other Christian doctrines,
especially the Christian understanding of salvation. He
investigates in detail the approach of the German Lutheran
theologian, Isaac A. Dorner (1809-1884) to this question. Analysis
of his arguments concerning the priority of the doctrine of God for
Christian belief and dogmatics is given. It examines the form of
his doctrine of God's triunity, and gives an extensive study of how
Dorner's particular account of God's triune identity informs the
Christian conception of God's relation to the world, first, as
Creator and, second, as Saviour. In this process, it seeks to
refocus attention on Dorner as a major figure in the development of
modern theology. The relationship between Dorner's doctrines of the
triune God and salvation is assessed. Dorner's positive
reconstruction of the Christian idea of God as Trinity provides
helpful resources in delineating a non-competitive account of God's
relation to the world. This means that God is not confused with nor
distant from the world. The eternal vitality of God's immanent
personality is the basis of His vital economic activity, which
culminates in the incarnation of the Son. We follow the main
tributaries of Dorner's arguments in System of Christian Faith,
beginning with an analysis of his doctrine of God, via his
development of the doctrines of creation, humanity, and the
incarnation of the God-man. An assessment is given of those
doctrines which pertain to the way in which God brings salvation
through Jesus Christ: sin, Jesus, and atonement. Norgate concludes
by comparing Dorner's achievements with those found in more recent
theologies of atonement. "T&T Clark Studies in Systematic
Theology" is a series of monographs in the field of Christian
doctrine, with a particular focus on constructive engagement with
major topics through historical analysis or contemporary
restatement.
