The Trinity: Retrieving the Western Tradition

Neil Ormerod

Marquette University Press, 2005 - Philosophy - 175 pages

Recent decades have witnessed a significant growth in interest in Trinitarian theology. Among the varied and often conflicting theologies currently developed, the common theme is that the Western tradition of Trinitarian theology has had its day. This book argues that this tradition is still relevant, and in fact more coherent than the competing alternatives now on offer.
