Levering's argument rests upon St. Thomas Aquinas's understanding of theology as contemplative wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTaking 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 \u003cem\u003eGod\u003c\/em\u003e who is revealed is to be understood in a non-idolatrous fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn chapters that broadly follow the structure of Aquinas's treatise on God in his \u003cem\u003eSumma Theologiae\u003c\/em\u003e, Levering engages with a wide range of contemporary theologians, biblical exegetes, and philosophers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464194081004,"sku":"9781405117340","price":178.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781405117340-scripture-and-metaphysics.jpg?v=1775041851","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/scripture-and-metaphysics-by-matthew-levering-9781405117340","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
