Von der hinteren Coverseite

"This book brings together an all-star cast of theologians to explain the role of the Holy Trinity in the life of the church. It also represents the very best of Eastern Orthodox ecumenism. No one interested in the doctrine of the Trinity can afford to overlook this work."
--George Hunsinger, Princeton Theological Seminary

"In the last thirty years, scholars have revolutionized our understanding of how the Christian church came to speak of God as Trinity. This wide-ranging collection of essays both catches readers up on the fruits of that research and pushes it forward. Khaled Anatolios has gathered an excellent array of scholars to explore various contours of this most profound mystery of the Christian faith. And they start where they should, with Christian liturgy, for it is out of the experience of worship--of baptism, of meditation on the Scriptures, of Eucharist--that the trinitarian faith of Christians is rooted, is experienced, is savored."
--William Harmless, SJ, Creighton University

"It is not just what Christians believe, but in whom we believe--God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--that should inform everything we do in worship, life, and ministry. For those seeking to answer the question of how our life in the church and the world grows out of our faith in the Trinity, this book provides food for deep thought and reflection. It is a pleasure to recommend it."
--Donald Fairbairn, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary; author of Life in the Trinity

"In this rich collection of essays, a holy impatience enlists meticulous historical scholarship to articulate the trinitarian dynamics at work, whether recognized or not, in the faith lives of Christian communities. Convinced that ressourcement opens the path to a revitalized trinitarian theology, the authors trace the connections between liturgy, Scripture, theology, and spirituality in patristic literature, offering fresh readings of major figures, in the face of which conventional truisms fall away. Representing Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant traditions, they are no mere antiquarians but write with an eye to the relevance of their research for contemporary theology, ecumenism, and issues of gendered speech about God."
--William P. Loewe, Catholic University of America
