Divine Simplicity and the Triune Identity
Description
Reviews / Votes
"This study is an outstanding exposition of Jenson's doctrine of God. It is also a deeply stimulating reflection on the ongoing relevance of the concept of divine simplicity."
Stephen A. Long, Theological Studies 83,3 (2022), 479.
"This book ... moves toward a more nuanced understanding of modern trinitarianism and its continuities with ancient doctrine. Using simplicity as a test case is bold because of its abstractness and apparent lack of practical value. Showing that Jenson's more self-consciously scriptural doctrine of God rests on the principle of simplicity may disclose practical applications so far unexploited."
John Hoyum, Lutheran Quarterly 36 (2022), 358.
