Review
‘These fine essays, written by his friends, colleagues, and former students, make a fitting tribute to the late Colin Gunton, to whom they are dedicated. Each chapter examines a particular doctrine through a Trinitarian perspective; together, they comprise a sort of Trinitarian Summa that challenges Christian theologians to understand every aspect of the faith in the light of the God who is Father, Son, and Spirit. In so doing, they effectively demonstrate why the return of Trinitarian thinking and the renaissance of systematic theology in the English-speaking world is no coincidence.’ Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Research Professor of Systematic Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
‘This stimulating collection of papers on the ramifications of what Colin Gunton regarded as the doctrine of all doctrines the doctrine of the Trinity demonstrates how widely his influence extended, both through his writing and through personal friendship, for English theology in the last twenty years would not have been what it is without his presence. Fresh and vivid theological work of this kind is the most fitting testimony to a theologian of the first rank.’ John Webster

‘This collection of essays forms a fitting tribute to the late Colin Gunter (1941-2003)….The essays…offer sharp, concise reflections on a wide range of theological themes, and the whole volume is organised around the traditional loci of systemic theology…the whole collection is pervaded by some of Gunton’s deepest theological commitments.’–Ben Myers, Faith and Theology, October 2006
“This book is a way forward for systematic theology. It presents a way to do theology without treating the Trinity in a passing manner or relegating to an afterthought to be placed in an appendix. From beginning to end we can formulate our doctrine of God and everything that follows in Trinitarian terms and for that this book is to be commended.” – Nick Norelli, http: //rdtwot.wordpress.com/
