摘要:In the preface, Neil Ormerod, professor of theology at the Australian Catholic University, warns us that this is “an argumentative book, perhaps even polemic at times” (9). This is one reason why it’s full of unforgettable insights. It’s also why it’s difficult to review. The arguments are detailed engagements with critics and detractors of the way in which the Trinity has been understood in the Western tradition. And it’s this detail that’s a reviewer’s burden. This is where the good stuff is; but it’s too compact to describe briefly. I’ll simply mention some of the headlines in Ormerod’s answers to its seven main questions.
