The doctrine of the Trinity was settled in the fourth century, and
maintained, with only very minor disagreement or development, by
all strands of the church--Western and Eastern, Protestant and
Catholic--until the modern period. In the twentieth century, there
arose a sense that the doctrine had been neglected and stood in
need of recovery. In The Quest for the Trinity, Holmes takes us on
a remarkable journey through 2,000 years of the Christian doctrine
of God. We witness the church's discovery of the Trinity from the
biblical testimony, its crucial patristic developments, and
medieval and Reformation continuity. We are also confronted with
the questioning of traditional dogma during the Enlightenment, and
asked to consider anew the character of the modern Trinitarian
revival. Holmes's controversial conclusion is that the explosion of
theological work in recent decades claiming to recapture the heart
of Christian theology in fact deeply misunderstands and
misappropriates the traditional doctrine of the Trinity. Yet his
aim is constructive: to grasp the wisdom of the past and,
ultimately, to bring a clearer understanding of the meaning of the
present.
