Christians have -- with exceptions -- named God as Trinity. The traditional formula of Father, Son and Holy Spirit is in a state of flux, but nonetheless we continue to think of God as Trinity. Leonardo Boff, a leading Brazilian Liberation Theologian ("silenced" by the Vatican under JPII) has written an intriguing and understandable exploration of the Trinity. He keeps traditional language but goes deeper underneath to suggest alternative ways of bringing Feminist critique into the conversation.The book is brief and the chapters are short and spiritually oriented. It is one of best brief treatments of the Trinity that I've encountered. Thus, I recommend it highly as a good starting place for an exploration of the ways in which we name God.
Exquisitely written, this is the finest and most explicable treatment of the Trinity that I have seen. (I have only seen the compelling reviews for Tripersonal God, The: Understanding and Interpreting the Trinity; 2nd Edition, Revised, by the esteemed Jesuit Gerald O'Collins, either in the original '99 edition or in this 2013 edition.) The short, specific chapters are developed with clarity and concision.Boff starts with the working assumption that "the prevailing mindset in the church is more that of an 'a-trinitarian' or 'pre-trinitarian' monotheism than a true trinitarian consciousness of God." (p. xii) Since this is vintage Boff, he feels compelled to state: "Returning to a radically trinitarian understanding of God would help the church overcome the clericalism and authoritarianism that are still very much in evidence in ecclesiastical behavior."(This book essentially is a popularized version of Boff's Trinity and Society:, which brought a liberationist perspective to academic Trinitarian theology.)
I have been on my own quest to show how life in the Trinity is the model for all communities. This author said it in a context of liberation theology that has been distorted by those who stop at just liberation. True liberation needs the right god and Boff has identified Him
This is an easy to read exciting discourse on the trinity from a perspective of community, participation and fellowship. The analogy is extended to community within the world and within human relationships. Boff also explores the feminen side of God. A great read.
