This poetic book on the Trinity offers reflections on the inter-personal dimensions of God and spells out the implications for 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.
Theologian, retreat leader, and spiritual writer, Michael Downey is professor of systematic theology and spirituality at Saint John’s Seminary in Camarillo, California. He is North American editor of the journal Spirituality and author of Hope Begins Where Hope Begins.
