Book Synopsis Theses Towards A Trinitarian Ontology by : Klaus Hemmerle
Download or read book Theses Towards A Trinitarian Ontology written by Klaus Hemmerle and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-21 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in 1975 as a birthday greeting to the theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar, Klaus Hemmerle's Theses Towards A Trinitarian Ontology is of the highest theological moment as a key source text for the recent widespread interest in the idea of a "Trinitarian ontology." Drawing on Hemmerle's deep familiarity with German Idealism, the Theses sketch an ontology beginning not from invariance, but from "self-giving," from kenosis, and articulate a distinctively Trinitarian response to the aporias of early twenty-first-century thought-a response for which only Love can credibly be understood as the meaning of Being.

Book Synopsis The Named God and the Question of Being by : Stanley James Grenz
Download or read book The Named God and the Question of Being written by Stanley James Grenz and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Stanley Grenz examines the long-standing trajectory of thought that has equated the concept of "being" with the God of the Bible--and thus claimed that the ontological category of being is the guiding concept by which God should be understood. Grenz extends the engagement between Christian theology and the Western philosophical tradition and focuses the discussion on the importance of naming, particularly given that the Christian God is both named and triune. In doing so, he organizes the book into three parts, forming an overarching story of the interplay between the named character of God and the question of being. First he analyzes the history of the philosophical concept of Being, then he shifts the focus to an exegesis of the "I Am" texts, and finally he moves to a renewed conversation between theology and ontological philosophy by means of the divine name.
Book Synopsis The Logic of the Trinity:Augustine to Ockham by : Paul Thom
Download or read book The Logic of the Trinity:Augustine to Ockham written by Paul Thom and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Augustine inaugurated the project of constructing models of the Trinity in language drawn from Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy, especially the conceptual framework of Aristotle's Categories. He used the Aristotelian notions of substance and relation to set up a model whose aim was not so much to demystify the Trinity as to demonstrate the logical consistency of maintaining that there is one and only one God at the same time as maintaining that there are three distinct persons, each of whom is God. Standing against this tradition are various heretical accounts of the Trinity. The book also analyzes these traditions, using the same techniques. All these accounts of the Trinity are evaluated relative to the three constraints under which they were formed, bearing in mind that the constraints on philosophical theorizing are not limited to internal consistency but also take note of explanatory power.
Book Synopsis Trinitarian Ontology and Israel in Robert W. Jenson’s Theology by : Sang Hoon Lee
Download or read book Trinitarian Ontology and Israel in Robert W. Jenson’s Theology written by Sang Hoon Lee and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can Christian theology overcome its long-standing supersessionism without diluting its Trinitarian faith? Can Christian faith remain genuinely Christian when it fails to recognize the covenantal significance of the Jews? In his later career, leading Trinitarian theologian Robert Jenson's theology moves in a post-supersessionistic direction. That said, the conceptual nexus between his Trinitarian theology and his post-supersessionism is not always patent on the surface of his texts. In this book, Lee traces the post-supersessionistic development of Jenson's Trinitarian theology and uncovers the reasons why Jenson's Trinitarian theology sets out to embrace the existence of the Jews. This book seeks to show that Jenson's revisionary--historicized, "carnalized," hermeneutical, and eschatological--Trinitarian ontology allows for genuine confession of the eternal triune God as the God of Israel, and that it thereby lays a firm basis for a properly Christian post-supersessionism.
Book Synopsis Trinitarian Ontology by : Jesmond Micallef
Download or read book Trinitarian Ontology written by Jesmond Micallef and published by Domuni-Press. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are Communion and Otherness contradictory or can they be reconciled? In his book, Jesmond Micallef refers to John Zizioulas’s celebrated book, Being as Communion to try to answer this question underlining the importance of communion for life and for uni- ty. He explains that Communion and Otherness are not contradictory but complemen-tary because Communion is the basis for true Otherness and identity. The author traces the work of Zizioulas who probes the Christian tradition and high-lights the existential concerns that already underlay the writings of the Greek Fathers and the definitions of the early ecumenical councils.
Book Synopsis The Holy Trinity--God for God and God for Us by : Chung-Hyun Baik
Download or read book The Holy Trinity--God for God and God for Us written by Chung-Hyun Baik and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important book, Chung-Hyun Baik explores one of the central issues in contemporary Trinitarian theology: the relationship between the economic and immanent Trinity. Engaging a wide variety of Trinitarian theologians and contemporary philosophers, Baik offers a vital analysis of the ontological and epistemological issues that bear on a proper understanding of the doctrine of the Trinity. Noting that the meaning of mystery in the New Testament is Jesus Christ himself, Baik argues that, in order to rightly approach the question of the relationship between the immanent and the economic Trinity, it is necessary to understand the mystery of the divine being as centered in Christ himself. Moreover, Christ is not merely a device for resolving epistemological or ontological tensions, but rather the fullness of the divine mystery, and as such, must be determinative of all such theological and philosophical questions.

Book Synopsis An Introduction to the Trinity by : Declan Marmion
Download or read book An Introduction to the Trinity written by Declan Marmion and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-11 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade there has been a resurgence of writing on the Trinity, indicating a renewal of ideas and debate concerning this key element of Christian theology. This introduction challenges the standard account of a decline and revival in Trinitarian theology, taking into account recent, alternative readings of the theological tradition by Lewis Ayres and Michel Barnes amongst other scholars. By clearly analysing the scope of these new approaches, the authors establish the importance of a considered understanding of the Trinity, resisting the notion of separating faith and reason and identifying theology's link to spirituality. Their account also eschews the easy stereotypes of Western Christianity's supposedly more Unitarian approach as opposed to the more Trinitarian view of the East. Offering an overview of the main people and themes in Trinitarian theology past and present, this book thus provides an accessible, comprehensive guide for students and scholars alike.

Book Synopsis Being With God by : Aristotle Papanikolaou
Download or read book Being With God written by Aristotle Papanikolaou and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2006-02-24 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central task of Being With God is an analysis of the relation between apophaticism, trinitarian theology, and divine-human communion through a critical comparison of the trinitarian theologies of the Eastern Orthodox theologians Vladimir Lossky (1903–58) and John Zizioulas (1931– ), arguably two of the most influential Orthodox theologians of the past century. These two theologians identify as the heart and center of all theological discourse the realism of divine-human communion, which is often understood in terms of the familiar Orthodox concept of theosis, or divinization. The Incarnation, according to Lossky and Zizioulas, is the event of a real divine-human communion that is made accessible to all; God has become human so that all may participate fully in the divine life. Aristotle Papanikolaou shows how an ontology of divine-human communion is at the center of both Lossky's and Zizioulas's theological projects. He also shows how, for both theologians, this core belief is used as a self-identifying marker against "Western" theologies. Papanikolaou maintains, however, that Lossky and Zizioulas hold profoundly different views on how to conceptualize God as the Trinity. Their key difference is over the use of apophaticism in theology in general and especially the relation of apophaticism to the doctrine of the Trinity. For Lossky, apophaticism is the central precondition for a trinitarian theology; for Zizioulas, apophaticism has a much more restricted role in theological discourse, and the God experienced in the eucharist is not the God beyond being but the immanent life of the trinitarian God. Papanikolaou provides readers with a richer understanding of contemporary Orthodox theology through his analysis of the consensus and debate between two leading Orthodox theologians.
Book Synopsis The Third Person of the Trinity by : Zondervan,
Download or read book The Third Person of the Trinity written by Zondervan, and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Fresh Look at the Holy Spirit. Recent decades have recognized pneumatology—the theology of the Holy Spirit—as a critical component in Christian thought, worthy of increased attention. While scholarly discussion about the Spirit is both creative and lively, it does sometimes occur in outlying areas of doctrine and practice rather than within its context of the doctrine of God. The Third Person of the Trinity represents the proceedings of the 2020 Los Angeles Theology Conference, which examined pneumatology as a core component of the doctrine of the Trinity, offering constructive proposals for understanding the doctrine of the Holy Spirit with theological and historical depth, ecumenical scope, and analytic clarity. The twelve diverse essays in this collection include discussions on: Understanding the Holy Spirit’s presence in creation. The mystery of the Trinity and the procession of the Spirit. An exploration of a Black American pneumatology of freedom. Exploring pneumatology alongside sorrow and suffering. Each of the essays collected in this volume engage with Scripture as well as with others in the field—theologians both past and present, from different confessions—in order to provide constructive resources for contemporary systematic theology and to forge a theology for the future.
Book Synopsis Two Views on the Doctrine of the Trinity by : Stephen R. Holmes
Download or read book Two Views on the Doctrine of the Trinity written by Stephen R. Holmes and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians 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). Each expert highlights the strengths of his view in order to argue how it best reflects the orthodox perspective. In order to facilitate a genuine debate and to make sure that the key issues are revealed, each contributor addresses the same questions regarding their trinitarian methodology, doctrine, and its implications.
Book Synopsis Trinitarian Theology beyond Participation by : Maarten Wisse
Download or read book Trinitarian Theology beyond Participation written by Maarten Wisse and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08-11 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maarten Wisse develops a critique of dominant trends in contemporary theology through a re-reading of Augustine's De Trinitate. Theological topics covered include the thinking about the relationship of between God and World as participation of the finite in the infinite, Christology as a manifestation of this ontology of participation, Trinity as a model for our relational mode of being and deification (theosis) as the purpose of salvation. Key figures are brought in conversation with an Augustinian alternative to these trends, such as Wolfhart Pannenberg, Joseph Ratzinger, Denys Turner, John Milbank, Catherine Pickstock and Graham Ward.
Book Synopsis Time, Eternity, and the Trinity by : Eunsoo Kim
Download or read book Time, Eternity, and the Trinity written by Eunsoo Kim and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the vital issues in contemporary Christian theology is the problem of a renewed understanding of God's eternity and its relation to time. This is not merely a peripheral doctrinal issue, but lies at the heart of our understanding of God and humanity, and contributes to our entire worldview. This study focuses on a long-standing debate between two competing views on God's eternity: one focused on God's absolute timelessness in classical theism, and the other on God's temporal everlastingness in contemporary panentheism. In contrast to both of these well-worn options, this book presents an alternative Trinitarian analogical understanding of God's eternity and its relation to time, especially through a critical reflection on Karl Barth's and Hans Urs von Balthasar's engagement of the issue. This analogical approach, based on the dynamic and dramatic concepts of God's being-in-relation and of the Triune God's communicative action in eternity and time, has the potential to resolve the debate between absolute timeless eternity and temporal everlasting duration.
Book Synopsis Jesus in the Trinity by : Lincoln Harvey

Book excerpt: A critical figure in understanding doctrinal debates, Robert Jenson's work is nonetheless incredibly hard to get a handle on. Jesus in the Trinity presents a much-needed primer on the theologian, demystifying his work and exploring the place his thinking has in the life of faith today.
