The Promise of Trinitarian Theology

Front Cover
A&C Black, Oct 6, 2003 - Religion - 252 pages
A reissue of a brilliant and accessible introduction to Trinitarian thought. Colin Gunton argues that the theology of the Trinity has profound implications for all dimensions of human life. Central to his work is his argument that the doctrine should offer ways of articulating the being of God and of the world so that we may be better able to live before God and with each other.
