Franz Dnzl gives an account of the formation of the doctrine of the Trinity in a narrative based on contemporary sources: as he remarks in the preface, he wants to describe the human struggle over the truth of the Christian image of God and as far as possible let the early Christians speak for themselves. His main concern is to describe the dynamic of the disputes over the theology of the Trinity in a vivid way which is easy to follow, pointing out the foundations of the doctrine and the decisive shifts in its development. He tries to see the often bitter discussion not as a barren dispute but as an evolutionary process in which the rivalry is a necessary and positive factor in moving the debate forward. After an introduction to the problem, the book describes the beginning of christology and the first models of the relationship between 'Father' and 'Son' : it then describes the controversies leading up to the Council of Nicaea, which are discussed at length, going on to show how Nicaea didn't settle the question and continuing the account up to the Council of Constantinople in 381. It brings out the political influences which governed this second stage of the discussion in an illuminating way. A survey and bibliography round the book off.

Paper Back. Etat : Good. According to Professor Andrew Louth, Franz Dünzl's Brief History of the Doctrine of the Trinity fills a pressing need 'for a clear and concise account of the emergence of the Christian doctrine of the Trinity.' Without neglecting generations of debate and scholarship, Dünzl avoids the tendency to confuse doctrinal history with the history of scholarship. Figures from the centuries-long debate emerge, not the scholars who wrote about them. He points out especially that the doctrine of the Trinity 'did not fall suddenly from heaven like a meteor,' but grew out of the living tradition of the church - through theologians who made critical reflections at decisive moments as well as those who, in going astray, provoked contradiction and correction. From the beginnings of Christology in the Gospel of John - 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God' - through the Council of Constantinople (381) and eventual theological agreement with the West, Dünzl takes a sobering look at the history that shaped the doctrine of the Trinity. In his words, 'That the history of revelation is not played out untouched by external influence as it were in a 'vacuum' in the history of ideas is not a defect but a touchstone of the monotheistic view of the world.' Dünzl's treatment is erudite, concise, illuminating, and not excessively academic. In particular, his discussion of the role of the West and the papacy presents a more balanced picture of doctrinal development in the fourth century. Externally like new, but underlining and marginalia are scattered throughout text. N° de réf. du vendeur 248393
