Synopsis
Exploring how science, religion, and philosophy meet at the idea of God. This book examines how evolution can inform our understanding of the Trinity and the nature of divine life, inviting readers to see unity and duality as living tensions in faith.
This edition argues that religious thought has long sought a unifying principle in a pervading spiritual essence, while also acknowledging separate acts of creation and mediation. It considers how early beliefs about duality and personality in the Godhead can be read alongside modern scientific and philosophical ideas, without denying the central mystery of Christ.
- Maps three divine activities—creative, mediatorial, and universal presence—as themes that echo the Trinity in human understanding.
- Charts the development of religious thought from animist and fetishist roots to more complex, nuanced conceptions of God.
- Discusses the humanity of Christ, presenting a view of Jesus’ growth and development as meaningful to faith.
- Engages with questions about unity, duality, and the limits of human knowledge in theology.
Ideal for readers seeking a thoughtful bridge between science, philosophy, and Christian belief, this edition offers careful reflection rather than easy answers.

Book Description
This 1918 book restates the Doctrine of the Holy Trinity from an evolutionary standpoint. Implicit in this aim is the requirement that a doctrine's truth is not essentially attached to the terminology in which it is expressed, so that the key idea survives as the original terminology becomes archaic.

Evolution and the Doctrine of the Trinity (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of the Holy Trinity, not as a rigid set of theological terms, but as a fluid, evolving doctrine that has adapted over time to humanity's grasp of consciousness. The author argues that pantheism, or the idea that God and the universe are one, does not fully account for Christian teachings on the Trinity and that the doctrine must be understood in terms of evolution. According to the author, God's transcendence and immanence, and by extension humanity's transcendence and immanence, are not incompatible and that a tripartite model of being and activity can be found in both God and humanity. The book concludes by suggesting that this understanding of the Trinity offers a framework for reconciling the Christian understanding of God with the modern scientific understanding of the universe and human evolution.
