The Trinity: On the Nature and Mystery of the One God

The Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith, and Thomas Joseph White, OP, examines the development of early Christian reflection on the Trinity in his book. He argues that essential contributions of Patristic theology are preserved and expanded in the thought of Thomas Aquinas and explores the mystery of Trinitarian monotheism. The book also engages with influential proposals of modern theologians on major topics such as Trinitarian creation, Incarnation and crucifixion, and presents creative engagements with these topics. Ultimately, any theology of the cross is also a theology of the Trinity, and this book seeks to illustrate how the human life, death, and resurrection of Jesus reveal the inner life of God as Trinity.
