How can the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit be distinct and yet identical? Prompted by the doctrine of the divine Trinity, this question sparked centuries of lively debate. In the current context of renewed interest in Trinitarian theology, Russell L. Friedman provides the first survey of the scholastic discussion of the Trinity in the 100-year period stretching from Thomas Aquinas' earliest works to William Ockham's death. Tracing two central issues - the attempt to explain how the three persons are distinct from each other but identical as God, and the application to the Trinity of a 'psychological model', on which the Son is a mental word or concept, and the Holy Spirit is love - this volume offers a broad overview of Trinitarian thought in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, along with focused studies of the Trinitarian ideas of many of the period's most important theologians.

Most Calvin scholars have seen a dialectical opposition between God and humanity as fundamental to Calvin's thought. Butin's study upsets this understanding by addressing Calvin's views on the doctrine of the Trinity and his understanding of the divine-human relationship.

Over the last decade there has been a resurgence of writing on the Trinity, indicating a renewal of ideas and debate concerning this key element of Christian theology. This introduction challenges the standard account of a decline and revival in Trinitarian theology, taking into account recent, alternative readings of the theological tradition by Lewis Ayres and Michel Barnes amongst other scholars. By clearly analysing the scope of these new approaches, the authors establish the importance of a considered understanding of the Trinity, resisting the notion of separating faith and reason and identifying theology's link to spirituality. Their account also eschews the easy stereotypes of Western Christianity's supposedly more Unitarian approach as opposed to the more Trinitarian view of the East. Offering an overview of the main people and themes in Trinitarian theology past and present, this book thus provides an accessible, comprehensive guide for students and scholars alike.

Une des tâches les plus urgentes pour les chrétiens soucieux d'offrir à leur foi l'hommage d'une pensée qui en respecte le mystère et la spécificité consiste à en assumer, de manière renouvelée, la détermination centrale qui la qualifie comme monothéisme trinitaire. De la foi chrétienne, le mystère de la Trinité exprime l'audace conjointe quant à la vérité de Dieu et quant à la vérité de l'homme. Il en commande aussi les équilibres les plus délicats. L'urgence naît d'un double défi : celui qui vient du dialogue avec les grandes religions et de l'attrait grandissant des sagesses hénologiques et des (ré)enchantements polythéistes ; celui qui vient des évaluations critiques du rôle joué par le christianisme dans le champ de l'imaginaire et des institutions politiques en Occident. Le présent volume reprend les contributions de la session théologique organisée en 1990 aux Facultés universitaires Saint-Louis, dans le cadre de l'École des sciences philo­sophiques et religieuses. L'ensemble, composé d'approches multiples et de perspectives nova­trices, se veut une contribution à ce travail. On pourra y mesurer l'avancée et l'approfondissement de la perspective pneumatologique déjà opérante dans plusieurs sessions précédentes publiées dans la même collection.
