"[A] distinguished contribution. . . Hill brings a remarkable
breadth of scholarship to his historical overview of classical
Trinitarian theology. He reviews the biblical sources for the
doctrine, traces its gradual development among the Latin and Greek
fathers, and analyzes carefully the Trinitarian theology of
Augustine and Aquinas."--The Journal of Religion Among the
doctrines and symbols of Christianity perhaps none has been as
subject to theological neglect as that of the Trinity. Recently,
however, there have been stirrings in the theological world seeking
to remedy this neglect. The present volume, a historical and
systematic investigation of the doctrine of the Trinity, is
intended as one contribution to this renewed theological discussion
of the trinity of God. In the first part, the author examines the
New Testament matrix of an emerging trinitarianism, the shaping of
the tradition by the Greek fathers, and the systematization of the
doctrinein Augustine and medieval Scholasticism. The second part
explores the post-Enlightenment understanding of the Trinity in
Schleiermacher and Hegel and the twentieth-century interpretation
of Barth, Tillich, Rahner, Pannenberg, Moltmann, Muhlen, Whitehead,
and others. The historical and critical parts lay the foundation
for the third part of this study, a contemporary reinterpretation
of the Trinity which complements Aquinas's metaphysical concept of
"person" with psychological and subjective dimensions brought out
by contemporary thinkers. The result of the rethinking of the
Trinity is an understanding of God not as self-enclosed Absolute
but as self-communicating personal deity. William J. Hill, O.P., is
Professor Emeritus of Theology at The Catholic University of
America. He received his S.T.D. degree from the University of St.
Thomas (Angelicum), Rome, and has taught at the Dominican House of
Studies of Washington, D.C. He has written numerous articles on
theology and religion, and is author of Knowing the Unknown God.
