The Doctrine of the Trinity is an exercise in wonder. It is drawn from the wonder of our own existence and the diverse experiences of the divine encountered by the early Christian community. From the earliest days of Christianity, theologians of the church have drawn upon the most sophisticated language and understandings of their time in an attempt to clarify and express that faith and this task is no different today.But how should we attempt to articulate that faith today? In this volume, Ernest Simmons engages precisely that question by asking what the current scientific understanding of the natural world might contribute to our reflection upon the relationship of God and the world in a Triune fashion.The result is a fruitful engagement between the ancient and the current, the theological and the scientific.
Ernest L. Simmons is professor of religion and director of the Dovre Center for Faith and Learning at Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota.
"These pages interweave the mystery of the God who is Three in One with the mysterious new insights from quantum physics. In Simmons' hands, 'entangled' quantum particles help express the beautiful insight that God has chosen to entangle the divine life with ours. Physicists, theologians, and ordinary believers alike are all invited into this vision of a God who works in and through the energies of this natural world without being reduced to them."
