The book offers a new Trinitarian and Christological reading of Christ’s cry of dereliction that is grounded in historic orthodoxy. Arguing for an interpretation of the cry in relation to the communication of idioms in Christology and the modal distinction between person and nature in Trinitarian theology, the book draws from a broad range of Patristic, Scholastic and Reformed sources. This work is a must for scholars of Christian theology.

Free Download Miikka Ruokanen, "Trinitarian Grace in Martin Luther’s The Bondage of the Will"
English | ISBN: 0192895834 | 2021 | 238 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Miikka Ruokanen reveals the powerfully Trinitarian and participatory nature of Martin Luther’s conception of divine grace in his magnum opus The Bondage of the Will. The study establishes a genuinely new understanding of Luther’s major treatise opening up its ecumenical potential. Luther’s debate with Erasmus signifies not only a disagreement concerning free will, but the dispute reveals two contrasting understandings of the very core idea of the Christian faith. For Erasmus, the relationship of the human being with God is based on the rationally and morally acceptable principles of fair play. For Luther, the human being is captivated by the overwhelming power of unfaith and transcendental evil, Satan; only the monergistic grace of the Triune God and the power of the Holy Spirit can liberate him/her.

Free Download Markus Mühling, "Post-Systematic Theology II: The Trinitarian Adventure of Love – Ecological Ways of Creation, Humaning and its Displacement"
English | ISBN: 3770566270 | 2024 | 884 pages | PDF | 8 MB
The second volume of the comprehensive and conceptual proposal of a Post-Systematic Theology – based on a phenomenological, narrative ontology – treats the trinitarian adventure of love, from the doctrine of God up to the doctrine of sin. In the doctrine of God, the distinctions of divine revealed personhood, narrative divine unity, and the divine attributes are discussed. The ecological ways of creation treat the classic themes of creation as the imago dei, cosmology, real possibilities, angels and aliens as well as biological evolution. Humans are presented as relational processes of becoming (humaning) in ontic solidarity to the created meshwork. The chapter on hamartiology conceives human sin as a displaced becoming in this mesh. The volume concludes with a proposal for an ethos of creatureliness. Interdisciplinary considerations between theology, philosophy, and the natural sciences are critical throughout the work.

Free Download Brendan McInerny, "The Trinitarian Theology of Hans Urs von Balthasar: An Introduction"
English | ISBN: 0268107572 | 2020 | 250 pages | EPUB | 611 KB
Although scholarship has long recognized the centrality of the Trinity in the theology of Hans Urs von Balthasar, no sustained treatment of this theme has been published until now. In this insightful new book, The Trinitarian Theology of Hans Urs von Balthasar, Brendan McInerny fills this gap, situating Balthasar’s trinitarian theology in conversation with both the wider Christian theological tradition and his non-Christian intellectual contemporaries. Drawing from across Balthasar’s extensive body of works, McInerny argues that Balthasar’s vivid description of the immanent Trinity provides a way to speak of how "God is love" in himself, beyond his relationship to creatures. He then shows how Balthasar’s speculation into the immanent Trinity serves as the substructure of his theology of deification. For Balthasar, what we say about the inner life of God matters because we are called to share in that very life through Christ and the Holy Spirit, to the glory of God the Father. Finally, responding to the criticisms that Balthasar’s speculations into the inner life of God are without warrant, McInerny argues that Balthasar’s bold trinitarian claims are actually a vehicle for apophatic theology. Balthasar’s vivid description of the triune God does not transgress the boundaries of theological discourse. Rather, it manifests God’s ever-greater incomprehensibility through verbal excess, oxymoron, and paradox.

Free Download Dale M. Schlitt, "Hegel’s Trinitarian Claim: A Critical Reflection"
English | 2012 | pages: 404 | ISBN: 1438443757, 1438443749 | PDF | 2,1 mb
Hegel’s philosophical interpretation of Trinity as a dialectically developing movement of Spirit is one of the most profound readings of Trinity in Western thought. In Hegel’s Trinitarian Claim, Dale M. Schlitt provides a careful, detailed presentation of this claim in Hegel’s major published works and in his lectures on the philosophy of religion, taking a critical look at how Hegel presents his claim that to think of God as subject and person one must think of God as Trinity. Although agreeing with Hegel’s conclusion, Schlitt argues on the basis of an immanent critique of Hegel’s thought that Hegel is not able to defend that claim in the way in which he proposes to do so. Schlitt argues instead that Hegel’s trinitarian claim can be justified when Spirit is no longer seen as a movement of thought but as a movement of enriching experience. This close analysis provides an excellent point of entry into the wider study and critical consideration of Hegel’s systematic philosophical project as a whole. Originally published in 1984 and available now in paperback for the first time, this edition features a new preface and postscript.
