Sinopsis
Exploring how science, religion, and philosophy meet at the idea of God. This book examines how evolution can inform our understanding of the Trinity and the nature of divine life, inviting readers to see unity and duality as living tensions in faith.
This edition argues that religious thought has long sought a unifying principle in a pervading spiritual essence, while also acknowledging separate acts of creation and mediation. It considers how early beliefs about duality and personality in the Godhead can be read alongside modern scientific and philosophical ideas, without denying the central mystery of Christ.
- Maps three divine activities—creative, mediatorial, and universal presence—as themes that echo the Trinity in human understanding.
- Charts the development of religious thought from animist and fetishist roots to more complex, nuanced conceptions of God.
- Discusses the humanity of Christ, presenting a view of Jesus’ growth and development as meaningful to faith.
- Engages with questions about unity, duality, and the limits of human knowledge in theology.
Ideal for readers seeking a thoughtful bridge between science, philosophy, and Christian belief, this edition offers careful reflection rather than easy answers.

Excerpt from Evolution and the Doctrine of the Trinity
It is occasionally possible to disarm a critic by anticipating his criticisms. There is a frank ingenuousness about the proceeding that is somewhat disconcerting. That fact, however, is not my main reason for using this Preface to draw attention to two characteristics of the pages that follow, which may very likely, and perhaps justly, be selected for adverse comment. Anyone who tries to think honestly can only be grateful when his theories are subjected to criticism. There comes a stage when he can no longer act as his own critic. Then he must get the help he needs from others. In those conditions he is justly entitled, as it seems to me, to explain why he has set out his theories in the particular form in which they are submitted to the critics; and it is only this liberty I claim.
There is, unquestionably, full room at present for a restatement of the Doctrine of the Holy Trinity in terms that are consonant with modem thought. Indeed, it is not too much to say that there is urgent need of such a restatement. A vague pantheism is the characteristic product of the religious speculation of to-day, and Christian doctrine, if not Christian ethics, is in danger of losing its hold on the minds of the most able among the younger men and women of England. Pantheism, with its emphasis on ultimate Unity, is not impressed by the tritheistic expression of Christian belief which passes popularly for Trinitarian doctrine.

Evolution and the Doctrine of the Trinity (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of the Holy Trinity, not as a rigid set of theological terms, but as a fluid, evolving doctrine that has adapted over time to humanity's grasp of consciousness. The author argues that pantheism, or the idea that God and the universe are one, does not fully account for Christian teachings on the Trinity and that the doctrine must be understood in terms of evolution. According to the author, God's transcendence and immanence, and by extension humanity's transcendence and immanence, are not incompatible and that a tripartite model of being and activity can be found in both God and humanity. The book concludes by suggesting that this understanding of the Trinity offers a framework for reconciling the Christian understanding of God with the modern scientific understanding of the universe and human evolution.
