Synopsis: In 1967 Karl Rahner famously wrote: "The economic Trinity
is the immanent Trinity, and vice versa." From that time onwards,
Rahner's Rule has become the norm for conceiving the relationship
between the Trinity in the economy of salvation and God's eternal
inner life. Evangelical theologians currently employ Rahner's Rule
in a variety of ways. One of the most popular is the "Strict
Realist Reading" whereby trinitarian relationships in salvation
history are taken to mirror eternal relationships within God. This
book brings this norm into conversation with the witness of
Scripture in order to assess its viability. In doing so, it
highlights troubling issues that arise from the application of the
Strict Realist Reading of Rahner's Rule to the narrative of
Luke-Acts. This book suggests that the Strict Realist Reading can
be shown to be a questionable basis for our doctrine of God's inner
life. Endorsements: "Based on Luke-Acts Scott Harrower has mounted
an exegetical challenge to the strict realist reading of Rahner's
rule that evangelicals would be foolish to avoid. The biblical
accent does not fall on the imitation of the Trinity's inner life
but on the imitation of Christ in the economy of salvation. The
onus is now on those who champion the rule or something like it in
its strict form to meet the challenge." --Dr. Graham A. Cole
Anglican Professor of Divinity at Beeson Divinity School, Samford
University Author of Do Historical Matters Matter to Faith? (2012)
"The book leverages its investigation of Luke-Acts to lodge a
protest against a widespread, highly influential, but seldom
critically examined movement in modern Trinitarian methodology. . .
. I commend this book as an excellent piece of research theology,
the kind of solid work that captures the theological moment,
advances the next few steps into new territory, and indicates where
future progress lies." --Fred Sanders, from the foreword Associate
Professor in the Torrey Honors Institute, Biola University Author
of The Deep Things of God (2010) "'Rahner's Rule' has exercised
massive influence over recent theology. To this point it has
not-quite surprisingly-been subjected to adequate biblical
scrutiny. In this insightful work, Scott Harrower takes important
steps to provide such scrutiny. The result is a book that will
repay careful study, and even those who are not fully persuaded by
all the arguments will benefit from engagement with it." --Thomas
