The doctrine of the Trinity stands front and center of the
Christian faith and its articulation. After a sustained drought of
trinitarian engagement, the doctrine of the Trinity has
increasingly resurged to the forefront of Evangelical confession.
The second half of the twentieth century, however, saw a different
kind of trinitarian theology developing, giving way to what has
commonly been referred to as the social Trinity.
Social or better, relational trinitarianism has garnered a
steady reaction from those holding to a classical doctrine of the
Trinity, prompting a more careful and thorough re-reading of
sources and bringing about not only a much more coherent view of
early trinitarian development but also a strong critique of
relational trinitarian offerings. Yet confusion remains. As
Evangelicals get better at articulating the doctrine of the
Trinity, and as the current and next generation of believers in
various Christian traditions seek to be more trinitarian, the way
forward for trinitarian theology has to choose between the
relational and classical model, both being legitimate options.
In this volume, leading contributors one evangelical and one
mainline/catholic representing each view establish their models and
approaches to the doctrine of the Trinity, each highlighting the
strengths of his view in order to argue how it best reflects the
orthodox perspective. In order to facilitate a genuine debate and
to make sure that the key issues are teased out, each contributor
addresses the same questions regarding their trinitarian
methodology, doctrine, and its implications.
Contributors include: Stephen R. Holmes; Paul D. Molnar; Thomas
H. McCall; and Paul S. Fiddes."
