Reviews

...the book impressively treats the breadth of Hegel's work ... Schlitt's [book] gives a deeply detailed and thoroughly articulated account of Hegel's approaches to Trinity, as well as of the expansive secondary resources on Hegel's Trinitarian thought. - Hegel Bulletin Praise for the First Edition ...the 'demythologizing' of such notions as reconciliation, incarnation, and trinity takes place more or less everywhere [in Hegel's system as a whole]. Any one of these can be fruitfully taken ... as a hermeneutical key for exposition of Hegelian thought in its totality. Just as fruitfully, any of these central themes can be the focus of critical evaluation. This splendid study undertakes both of these tasks with reference to the trinitarian theme ... Schlitt's book has a comprehensive depth that makes it a worthy successor to Jorg Splett's 1965 monograph, Die Trinitatslehre G. W. F. Hegels. Its massive supply of footnotes is almost a second book, a Literaturbericht that is especially thorough in its treatment of the German materials of the last several decades. - Journal of the American Academy of Religion [This study] treats its subject matter at a high level of reflection, in continual discussion with secondary literature and on the newly established basis of texts [distinguishing the four series of Hegel's] lectures on the philosophy of religion. Schlitt's thesis ... is embedded in thorough presentations and subtle, focused discussions, which serve as well to inform American readers about ongoing discussions in Germany and France ... a high-quality, comprehensive study. - Theologie und Philosophie
