Trinitarian Theology: West and East
ISBN: 9780198270324 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is a unique contribution to the dialogue between the traditions of Eastern and Western Christian thought.

Collins looks beyond the growing ecumenical consensus to examine the origin for the basis for the consensus, and suggests that it is possible to root it in Western thought as well as in Eastern Orthodoxy.
