Description
Book SynopsisChristians have always believed in the triune God, but they haven''t always understood or used the doctrine of the Trinity consistently.
In order to form a coherent view of trinitarian theology, it''s important for Christians to have a working knowledge of the two legitimate models for explaining this doctrine:
-
Classical – presenting a traditional view of the Trinity, represented by the Baptist theologian Stephen R. Holmes and the Roman Catholic theologian Paul D. Molnar.
-
Relational – presenting the promise and potential hazards of a relational doctrine, represented by the evangelical theologian Thomas H. McCall and the Baptist philosopher Paul S. Fiddes.
In this volume of the Counterpoints series, leading contributors establish their models and approaches to the doctrine of the Trinity (or, the relationship between the threeness and oneness of the divine life).
