Items related to Trinitarian Soundings in Systematic Theology
Trinitarian Soundings in Systematic Theology is a multi-authored exploration of systematic theology from a Trinitarian perspective. Its aim is to show how the doctrine of the Trinity sheds light on other key doctrines-from prolegomena to eschatology and theological ethics. To borrow a phrase from Robert Jenson, the doctrine of the Trinity 'is not a separate puzzle to be solved but the framework within which all theology's puzzles are to be solved'. Given the scarcity of systematic theologies done 'trinitarianly', this collective project suggests a path to follow in the formulation of each particular doctrine represented in the volume.
Trinitarian Soundings promises to become an important work given its unique presentation of major themes of systematic theology in their classical order, yet from a Trinitarian point of view. Its contributors include veteran theologians as well as younger scholars who are energetically employing this Trinitarian focus. The contributors represent various theological traditions and geographical locations, which surely bring richness to the theological inquiry. Dedicated to the memory of a pioneer in the resurgence of Trinitarian theology, the late Prof. Colin Gunton, this collection represents a distinctive treatment of systematics, intent on showing the vitality of approaching all aspects of the faith from a self-consciously Trinitarian perspective.

Review:
'This is essential reading for pastors, academics, and interested others who are looking for an accessible yet profound survey of Trinitarian options in systematic theology.'- Pacific Journal of Baptist Research, vol.2 no.2, October 2006 (Myk Habets, Carey Baptist College)
Reviewed by Mark S M Scott in Theological Review vol.19 no.2 2007
'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
Mention --Theology Digest, Summer 2006
'read as a celebration of Professor Gunton's theological achievement, Trinitarian Soundings in Systematic Theology is entirely successful.'
- Donald Wood, Theology
'this collection will rightly be welcomed by all those interested in the revival of Trinitarian thought in contemporary dogmatics and especially by Colin Gunton's many friends and admirers. It is, as Robert Jenson notes, a book he would have loved to read.'
