The concept of the ‘social Trinity’, which posits three conscious subjectsin God, radically revised the traditional Christian idea of the Creator. Itpromoted a view of God as a passionate, creative, and responsive sourceof all being. Keith Ward argues that social Trinitarian thinking threatensthe unity of God, however, and that this new view of God does notrequire a ‘social’ component. Expanding on the work of such theologiansas Barth and Rahner, who insisted that there was only one mind of God,Ward offers a coherent, wholly monotheistic interpretation of the Trinity.Christ and the Cosmos analyses theistic belief in a scientific context, demonstratingthe necessity of cosmology to theological thinking that is oftenoverly myopic and anthropomorphic. This important volume will benefitthose who seek to understand what the Trinity is, why it matters, and howit fits into a scientific account of the universe.
