Rediscovering the Triune God: The Trinity in Contemporary Theology
The strength of the book lies in a different arena. Grenz provides a fluid overview of the scene filled with quotes that let the original authors speak while integrating these voices into a readable and insightful essay. The highlight of the book is formed by the voices of the eleven trendsetters of trinitarian thought. Grenz himself remains narrator and guide whose own judgments serve only to direct the audience in their own discovery of the triune God. As a result, the reader is brought in direct contact with the actual work of Moltmann, Pannenberg, Zizioulas, or any of the other theological giants through the lens of one of the leading evangelical theologians of the twentieth century. Books like that are a rare find.
