Description and Table of Contents

Description

The Trinity And Culture is a study of how human cultures relate to transcendence in general and to the Triune God in particular. It surveys the church's understanding of God as Triune. It describes some of the implications which Trinitarian perspectives and values have for culture. It explores the models and mental constructs which Augustine, Pascal and others have developed to express their understandings of the relation of the Triune God to human existence. It suggests that a renewed understanding of the Trinity can provide the church with a paradigm to guide humanity in building its cultures.

Table of Contents

Contents: The Trinity And Culture explores various understandings of the relationship between the Triune God and the cultures of earth. It proposes a contemporary restatement of the doctrine of the Trinity as the basis of a Trinitarian paradigm to guide culture. It assumes that the reader has had or is having some exposure to theology or philosophy. It differs from other works in that it focuses on the Triunity of God as the ultimate paradigm for human community and culture.
