Karen Kilby explores the doctrine of the Trinity and issues of
evil, suffering and sin. She offers a critique of the lack of
respect for mystery found in the most popular Trinitarian thinking
of our time. Kilby gives an apophatic reading of Aquinas on the
Trinity and offers a distinct next step in the sequence on the
Trinity - the appeal of social doctrines of the Trinity lies
principally in their ecclesial and political relevance. She engages
with Miroslav Volf's famous 'The Trinity is our social program'
essay and addresses the question of what an alternative politics of
an apophatic theology of the Trinity might look like. The essays
explore the question of theodicy and argue that evil poses a
question to Christians and Christian's theology which can neither
be answered nor dismissed. Kilby argues that Christians must live
with this mystery, this lack of resolution, rather than trying to
diminish the gravity of evil, or allowing evil to dictate their
conception of God's goodness or power. By offering a critical
reading of Hans Urs von Balthasar and Julian of Norwich she
explores the question of whether Christianity can avoid giving a
positive valuation to suffering, and concludes the two represent
two different strands within the Christian tradition in relation to
thought on suffering.
