Tracing out the origins of the
Trinitarian “revival” in the modern era, particularly on account of the
influence of Schleiermacher, Tillich, Barth, Rahner, and Pannenberg, through to
the destabilizing effects of postmodernity on Trinitarian discourse, the author
provides a critical hermeneutic for the evaluation and implementation of
thoughtful Trinitarian theology in the contemporary world. Within this frame,
the author argues for viewing the Trinity as the intellectual and conceptual
context and interdisciplinary arena of interaction between theology and other
forms of intellectual inquiries to generate a robust, multifaceted, and
historically fluent doctrine of the Trinity.
