In what sense is God one? How can those who worship Jesus Christ,
his Father, and the Holy Spirit claim to be monotheists? These
questions were answered by the early church, and their answering
analogies, models, and language have come down to the church today.
However, theology is not stagnant, and the twentieth century has
seen several new models of the Trinity emerge. Many of these models
have focused on the three persons without adequately considering
the consequences for the unity of God. The One God seeks to develop
an understanding of the unity of the Triune God by examining the
positions put forward by Karl Rahner, Millard Erickson, John
Zizioulas, and Wolfhart Pannenberg. After carefully presenting and
critically examining each of these positions, this book offers a
synthesis: an understanding of the unity of God that is
historically informed, theologically adequate, internally coherent,
and able to explain Christian monotheism in a new century. By
affirming both the singular divine essence of God and the genuine,
eternal interdependence of distinct divine persons in God, The One
God affirms the personal and the natural levels of ontology, both
crucial for understanding God, humanity, and the world.
