Reviews

Neither shying away from the difficulties of knowing God, nor from the discipline required to allow ourselves to be reshaped and reformed, the contributors show that the church is to be found where together we have accepted the divine invitation to inhabit the Trinitarian movement of giving and receiving love. They remind us that theology is a journey into the heart and mind of the triune God....In essays eloquent, elegant, playful, subtle and clear, we are shown that our prayer should be thoughtful and our thought prayerful. And the fruit of all our praying and thinking is a participation in a divine pattern of living in this world, albeit in all our messy glory. -- Matt Bullimore

And the fruit of all our praying and thinking is a participation in a divine pattern of living in this world, albeit in all our messy glory. -- Matt Bullimore I approached this book with some trepidation, expecting it to be a rather dry set of conference papers with a definite academic bias. However, the subtitle, `Knowing and Loving the Triune God', highlights the tone of the content. It is not at all dry, although the lengthy paper on Augustine is a bit heavy going! The most enjoyable and enlightening papers are by Jeremy Begbie, who likens the Trinity to a musical triad - surely one of the most helpful paradigms for describing the Trinity - and Ayla Lepine, who investigates the Trinity as depicted in ecclesial architecture. The conference was held in Oxford at Pusey House and to some extent reflects the ethos of the Oxford Movement, as it was held within the context of worship. The sermons from those services are included... this is a worthy book. -- Marion Gray * The Reader, Winter edition *
