An important, seminal work . . . . I can't recommend this book highly enough.""--Ronald Rohlheiser This poetic book on the Trinity offers reflections on the inter-personal dimensions of God and spells out the implications for our spiritual life. While recent studies on the Trinity converge on the profoundly relational character of the mystery, less attention has been given to the way in which language of the Trinity speaks to the deepest desires of the human heart, the region of wound and wisdom wherein we long for loving communion with God and others. Michael Downey shows us that the doctrine of the Trinity is a grammar by which Christians speak of the ineffable mystery of God's constant, eternal giving as gift. By accepting this gift we participate in the divine life.|""An important, seminal work . . . .
