This interdisciplinary study examines the scriptural roots of trinitarian doctrine, the trinitarian teaching of the Cappadocians and Augustine, and systematic and foundational issues such as the viability of social models for the Trinity. The book ends with a discussion of the Trinity in art.

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.

An interesting, if technical, discussion of some key trinitarian themes.
