Opis

This book is about the Christian doctrine of the Trinity as it has developed in Germany. It argues there are three main ideas in that development: first, the way in which the Trinity has been seen as similar to the human self; second, the way in which differing understandings of revelation have affected people's attitude toward the doctrine; and third, the ways in which differing understandings of the conception of history have affected people's attitudes toward the doctrine.

Review of the hardback: ' … what he offers us at one and the same time is both a framework within which to understand present developments and a series of very helpful vignettes of the thought of major figures along the way.' David Brown
