Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Matthew Levering presents a major exploration of Trinitarian theology, connecting scriptural revelation with metaphysical analysis to deepen understanding of the triune God. Drawing on St. Thomas Aquinas's view of theology as contemplative wisdom, the book guides readers through Aquinas's teachings on God's unity and threeness. Levering demonstrates how Trinitarian theology can serve as a spiritual practice, encouraging a shift from self-centredness to God-centredness. Structured broadly around Aquinas's Summa Theologiae, this work engages a wide spectrum of contemporary theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers.

In this major contribution to contemporary theological and philosophical debates, Matthew Levering bridges the gap between scriptural and metaphysical approaches to the triune God. Levering's argument rests upon St. Thomas Aquinas's understanding of theology as contemplative wisdom.

Taking us through Aquinas's theology of God as One and Three, he demonstrates that Trinitarian theology should be a spiritual exercise assisting our movement from self- to God-centeredness. Crucial to the spiritual exercise is the contemplative appropriation of biblical revelation, which, Levering argues, has to be joined to a correspondingly rich metaphysical analysis if the God who is revealed is to be understood in a non-idolatrous fashion.

In chapters that broadly follow the structure of Aquinas's treatise on God in his Summa Theologiae, Levering engages with a wide range of contemporary theologians, biblical exegetes, and philosophers.
