God as Communion explores ancient and new meanings of the symbol of
God as Trinity and brings the Christian traditions of West and East
into dialogue. Through an exploration of the works of two
contemporary theologians, John Zizioulas and Elizabeth Johnson,
Patricia Fox retrieves this central Christian symbol and uncovers
its transforming power for the Church and world today. God as
Communion shows how both Zizioulas and Johnson, from their very
different theological traditions and starting points, provide a
rich understanding of the symbol of the Triune God. Fox proposes we
reclaim that doctrine of the Trinity as an eminently practical
doctrine that challenges Christians and the Christian Churches to
transforming changes in this new century. Part one examines the
trinitarian theology of John Zizioulas, which focuses on the
formative and seminal period of the first centuries of
Christianity. Part two examines Elizabeth Johnson's exploration of
the mystery of the triune God in feminist theological discourse.
Part three brings the trinitarian theologies of John Zizioulas and
Elizabeth Johnson into a mutually critical correlation. Fox
concludes that the respective theologies of Zizioulas and Johnson
together provide a rich resource for the retrieval of this ancient
Christian symbol. Chapters under Part One: The Trinitarian Theology
of John Zizioulas are The Trinitarian God - Persons in Communion,"
"God and Creation," and "The Church as Communion." Chapters under
Part Two: The Trinitarian Theology of Elizabeth Johnson are
"Renaming the Trinitarian God," "SHE WHO IS: The Being of God and
Suffering," and "Reclaiming the Creator Spirit, Women and Earth."
Chapters under Part Three: Towards a Retrieval of the Symbol of the
Triune God are "Zizioulas, Johnson and the Retrieval of the
Trinity," "Pneumatology and Christology in Mutual Relation,"
"Foundations for Trinitarian Theology: Persons, Naming, Structure,"
"Trinitarian Theology in Practice: The Issues of Suffering and the
Ecological Crisis," and "Towards a Constructive Retrieval of the
Symbol of the Triune God." Patricia A. Fox, RSM, PhD, teaches
Christian spirituality at the Adelaide College of Divinity at the
theology school of Flinders University of South Australia and
coordinates the Spirituality Office for the Catholic Archdiocese of
Adelaide. "
