Explores the structure of human participation in the triune life. Focuses on the question of describing the 'members' of the Trinity as 'persons'; how language functions in describing God in such terms; and the underlying models which shape our theological perspective.
Reviews / Votes
'Dr Torrance does not merely engage in a survey; rather he seeks to challenge certain existing models for theological reflection and replace them with a new one... This is not a book for the faint hearted! It is an erudite and scholarly work of considerable depth and density which requires (but repays) careful and sustained study.' A. T. B.
