'Trinitarian theology as a theory of everything '!? Unlike Raimon Panikkar or David Bohm, Ross Hastings' vision of triune coinherence between reality and our faithful knowledge of it is deeply rooted in the classical Christian tradition. Here, historic orthodoxy meets late modern science in a mutually indwelling and illuminating encounter. --Amos Yong, author of The Spirit of Creation: Modern Science and Divine Action in the Pentecostal-Charismatic Imagination Many have read Ian Barbour's four modes of relating science and theology: conflict, independence, dialogue, or integration. Theologian Ross Hastings reflects on another mode: coinherence. Drawing on the coinherent nature of the Trinity itself, Hastings brings an explicitly Christ-centered approach to a conversation that too often degenerates to mere deism. Hastings' in-depth theological work, informed by his background in chemistry, is a valuable and welcome resource for understanding science in light of Christian faith. --Deborah Haarsma, President of BioLogos This is a courageous and thought-provoking discussion of the significance of God's Triune identity for how we think about the nature of the contingent order. Ross Hastings' unique cross-disciplinary abilities as an academic theologian who is also a highly qualified scientist facilitate analysis that is not only informed but profound in the insights it offers. --Alan J. Torrance, Professor, University of St. Andrews
