Trinitarian Spirituality - John Owen & the Doctrine of God in Western Devotion (Paperback)

This work examines the problem of how to connect the historic doctrine of the Trinity to Christian devotional practice. Two critieria for a successful Trinitarian Spirituality are proposed: that of drawing significantly from nuances of the classic formulations of the doctrine; as well as dealing with the mode of original Trinitarian self disclosure, that is, the unfolding biblical doctrine of the historia salutis. Various historical attempts at articulating a method are examined, with special emphasis given to the Puritan John Owen. 'A masterful piece of research', J.I. Packer.
