Trinity: An Interdisciplinary Symposium on the Trinity

Nineteen scholars from different universities, churches, and continents gathered in New York at Easter 1998 for the Trinity Summit. They are experts in a variety of fields: the Bible, ancient Christian writers, ancient Jewish writers, theology, philosophy, art, and preaching. This book is the result of that meeting: a well-researched, skilfully argued, and at times provocative volume on the belief at the very heart of Christianity: the Holy Trinity. -;This interdisciplinary study is the result of an international and ecumenical meeting of nineteen scholars held in New York at Easter 1998: the Trinity Summit. Biblical experts examine the scriptural roots of trinitarian doctrine, patristic scholars correct those who continue to misinterpret the trinitarian teaching of the Cappadocians and Augustine, and five scholars examine systematic and foundational issues like the viability of social models for the Trinity. The volume ends witha study of the Trinity in art and the challenge of preaching the Trinity today. The international reputation of the participants reflects and guarantees the high quality of this joint work. -
