TPHL 638 - The Trinity: Living Center of Faith or Irrelevant Math Problem?3 credits
The Trinity: Insoluble Math Problem, Living Heart of Christian Faith, or Model for Egalitarian Social Ordering? The doctrine of the Trinity is enjoying a major renaissance of retrieval and reinterpretation in Christian systematic theology. This strangest and most abstract of Christian doctrines is now being rediscovered by confessional, philosophical, liberationist and pluralist theologians alike. Despite the strong differences in theological approach, these theologians all believe the doctrine of the Trinity’s affirmation of radical divine relationality to be critical for the life of faithful communities witnessing to and working for a transformed and just world. After familiarizing ourselves with the major themes and logic of traditional formulations of the doctrine, we will focus on several key voices of this renaissance. Prerequisite: TPHL 501
