Overview

The second volume of Robert M. Doran's magisterial The Trinity in History continues his exploration of the Trinitarian theology of Bernard Lonergan, focusing now on the notions of relations and persons and connecting the systematic proposals with the so-called ""Third Quest for the Historical Jesus."" Doran not only interprets Lonergan's major work in Trinitarian theology and Christology but also suggests at least a twofold advance: a new version of the psychological analogy for understanding Trinitarian doctrine and a new starting point for the whole of systematic theology. He links these theological concerns with Ren Girard's mimetic theory, proposes a theory of history based in Lonergan's scale of values, and creates a link between exegetical and historical scholarship and systematic theology.

Reviews

The Trinity in History, Volume 2, pushes the boundaries of a Lonerganian-conceived exercise in systematic theology. This is a profound contribution to theological reflection on how the Trinity is an active presence in human history. - Neil Ormerod, Executive Officer of Research Analytics, Sydney College of Divinity

"""With sound scholarship and sophistication, not only does Robert M. Doran further prove himself to be an authority on Lonergan's vast theological corpus, but he both initiates and advances important conversations with the work of Charles Taylor, René Girard, and Hans Urs von Balthasar. From the point of view of a systematic theologian, Doran creatively engages, in a quite innovative way, the work of scripture scholars Ben Meyer, among others, while also shedding light on questions that continue to arise about the legacy of Vatican II's contribution to the church's engagement with secularity and non-Christian religions in the light of the Council."" - Randall S. Rosenberg, Department of Theological Studies, Saint Louis University"
