There has been a recent revival of interest in the doctrine of divine simplicity in systematic and philosophical theology, following decades of intense reflection on the tri-personhood of the Christian God. While recent studies have produced a greater appreciation of patristic and scholastic theologies, they have not yet engaged in dialogue with proponents of the trinitarian revival that emerged in the latter half of the twentieth century in anything other than polemical terms. This book offers a theological defense of the doctrine of divine simplicity through careful reading of both exemplary historical theologians and Robert W. Jenson, an important American contributor to the trinitarian revival. After tracing continuities and discontinuities amongst select historical theologians, the book approaches Jenson with a multivalent account of divine simplicity. The result is a more nuanced interpretation of Jenson’s theology, an account of divine simplicity that responds to perceived problems, and new constructive proposals for divine simplicity in trinitarian theology.

This book arises out of contemporary questions regarding the nature and formation of the church amidst an economically divided society. Looking to Augustine of Hippo for guidance, Jonathan D. Ryan argues that the movement from private self-interest toward common love of God and neighbor is fundamental to the church's formation and identity amidst contemporary contexts of economic inequality. Ryan demonstrates the centrality of this theme in Augustine's Sermons and his monastic instruction (principally the Rule), illustrating how it shapes his pastoral guidance on matters pertinent to economic division, including use of material resources, and attitudes toward rich and poor. By reading Augustine's Sermons alongside his monastic instruction, this volume allows for a closer understanding of how Augustine's vision of a common life is reflected in his pastoral guidance to the wider congregation. The book's concluding reflections consider what the church in our time might learn from these aspects of Augustine's teaching regarding the formation of a common life, as members are drawn together in love of God and neighbour.

"Karl Barth gilt als der „Kirchenvater des 20. Jahrhunderts". Sein Erbe ist jedoch in Europa, vor allem aber in Nordamerika umstritten. Hier beherrscht die sogenannte Neo-Orthodoxie, welche Hans Urs von Balthasars These von einer Wende im Barthschen Denken von der Dialektik hin zur Analogie übernahm, noch heute die Barth-Rezeption. Bruce McCormack zeigt im Gegensatz zur Neo-Orthodoxie, dass Barth seit 1919 dialektischer und kritischer Theologe war. Diese Barth-Analyse ist der Auftakt von McCormacks konstruktiver Barth-Rezeption, in der er letzten Endes zeigt, dass Barths Betonung der göttlichen Erwählung der Menschheit mit Barths Begriff der göttlichen Freiheit unvereinbar ist. Im Anschluss daran erarbeitet sich McCormack die Prolegomena, die Christologie und auch die Trinitätslehre seines eigenen theologischen Entwurfs, der Barth letzten Endes hinter sich lässt. Als erstes Buch überhaupt stellt Geilhufes „Gnade als trinitarisches Sein" diese Arbeit McCormacks nun vor."

Testimonials to Experience of the Trinity is a study in spirituality of the Trinity. ‘Testimonial’ refers to an affirming witness to experience of the Trinity offered with the intention of encouraging such experience or openness to it. This approach through testimonials provides access to experiences of the Trinity and the varying forms they take. After an initial chapter on Jesus as Spirit-empowered son of Abba, the study presents 15 testimonials to experience of the Trinity. They represent four periods in the history of Christianity in its worldwide expansion and exemplify literary and artistic mediums through which testimonials have been offered. The study suggests that each testimonial and the experience it relates forms a trinitarian spirituality, indeed a discipleship spirituality, rooted in Jesus’ experience of God. The study will be of personal interest while contributing to research in areas such as spirituality, theology, religious studies, philosophical theology, and philosophy of religion.

"Gegenstand dieser Untersuchung ist der Begriff μυστεριον (lateinisch mysterium bzw. sacramentum) bei dem Kirchenschriftsteller Origenes. Der Mysterienbegriff des Alexandriners setzt sich aus biblischen und platonischen, jüdisch-christlichen und paganen Vorstellungen zusammen. Auf der Grundlage der Schriften der Alexandriner Clemens und Origenes wird die Vielschichtigkeit des Mysterienbegriffs und seine Entwicklung im alexandrinischen Denken dargestellt. Begleitend stellt sich die Frage, inwiefern der Mysterienbegriff bei Origenes esoterisch oder elitär ist -- dazu bietet die Untersuchung eine differenzierte Einschätzung. Aus der Perspektive des Menschen, der sich auf einen geistig-geistlichen Weg begibt, stellt sich die Beobachtung ein, dass die christlichen Mysterien in die Weite und in die tiefere Begegnung mit Gott führen wollen. Im Sinne einer pädagogischen Esoterik sind sie 'für alle verborgen': Sie tragen für jeden Menschen den Aspekt des Unverfügbaren in sich, ebenso aber die Zusage, für jeden, der sich bemüht, mit Gottes Hilfe das Ersehnte zu finden."--
