The mystery of the Trinity is the central Christian belief that
defines God's essence, God's ongoing love for humanity, and saving
grace. Yet, over the past few centuries, especially in the West,
Christians have either ceased believing in the Trinity or simply no
longer recognize its relevance in their ecclesial or individual
lives. Written in an ecumenical spirit that engages contemporary
questions and theological viewpoints, The Trinity: Rediscovering
the Central Christian Mystery articulates the mystery of the
Trinity for people formed by modern historical consciousness,
science, awareness of the equal dignity of men and women, and
respect for world religions. By first identifying contemporary
problems with the Christian proclamation of the Trinity in our
culture and major differences among modern theologians, John
Farrelly, OSB, explores Scripture, the life and message of Jesus
Christ, the various stages of the development of Trinitarian
doctrine in Christian History, the relation of the Trinity to
creation and salvation, the generation of the Son from the Father
within the Trinity and the procession of the Holy Spirit from
Father and Son, and the meaning of three persons in one God. He
concludes by reflecting on the implications this renewed theology
of the Trinity has for ecclesiology and Christian spirituality in
our twenty-first century world, especially in relation to other
world religions.
