Stephen Holmes\u2019 book The Holy Trinity<\/em> (UK edition) or\u00a0The Quest for the Trinity<\/em> (US edition) is\u00a0a great volume that sets out the doctrine of the Trinity, its origins and meaning, as well as engaging with currents in Trinitarian theology. Still, it gave\u00a0give grist for the mill of many scholars. Holmes questioned exactly \u201chow\u201d the Trinity is biblical, he was critical of much of patristic exegesis which operated in hermeneutical paradigms that few of us would find convincing today, he denied the Regnon thesis of a big divide between eastern and western expressions views of the Trinity, and he offered\u00a0a rather stinging critique of social trinitarianism. Fred Sanders describes Holmes\u2019s book as \u201cthe feistiest of this kind of new wave of counter-revolutionary Trinitaranism.\u201d This volume is a book length response to Holmes by a number of contributors (Fred Sanders, Robert Lethan, Kevin Giles, Jon Mackenzie, Jason Radcliff, R.T. Mullins, John Colwell, Michael Bird, and Graham Watts), who question his reading of the exegesis of the church fathers and particularly his reading of Augustine as well as facets of the social trinitarianism which Holmes rejects. An excellent engagement with an excellent initial volume.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
