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 with a 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.
This volume investigates the historical, scriptural, and systematic foundations of the doctrine of the Trinity through an interdisciplinary academic lens. The authors, including Daniel Kendall S.J., Stephen F. Davis, and Gerald O'Collins S.J., compile research from an international symposium of nineteen scholars to address contemporary misunderstandings of trinitarian theology. The work provides a rigorous framework for evaluating both classical patristic interpretations and modern social models of the Trinity.
