Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The essential argument of this new work by Andrew Robinson is that we live, move and have our being within a sea of signs, but that we are largely unaware of this for most of the time. When the structure of these signs is analysed it turns out to rest on three recurring 'elemental grounds', which the author calls Quality, Otherness and Mediation. The kaleidoscopic, ramifying patterns of Quality, Otherness and Meditation which underpin representations and interpretations at every level and dimension of the processes of signification offer a model of the dynamic mutual indwelling of the Father, Son and Spirit within the eternal life of the Trinity.This 'semiotic model' of the Trinity would be of rather limited interest in itself unless it can also illuminate other areas of Christian theology. Robinson suggests that the model leads to a helpful way of understanding how the entirely human person Jesus of Nazareth may be understood to have been the full and perfect embodiment (representation) of the quality of God's being. This in turn helps us to understand how the processes of representation and interpretation enable us to be drawn into the very life of God. This has practical implications for the church and for the individual lives of Christian believers. It also offers, via a re-articulation of the neglected concept of vestiges of the Trinity in creation, a form of 'spirituality of the everyday'. A valuable contribution to the field of trinitarian theology, this book examines the nature of the Trinity and its significance to the believing Christian through the concepts and methods of semiotics.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Traces of the Trinity' is a masterful exploration of Christian theology through the lens of semiotics - the study of signs. Andrew Robinson provides helpful analogies and clear explanations throughout to lead even the non-specialist through the subject with ease. Although the variety of signs is endless, all signs and sign-interpretations have the same basic structure: sign, object and interpretation. Further, Robinson shows how this triad rests upon the existence of three 'elemental grounds': Quality, Otherness and Mediation. He proceeds to develop a highly original 'semiotic model' of the Trinity, illuminating and integrating key areas of Christian thought: creation, incarnation, and atonement; the roles of baptism and the Eucharist; the nature of the church and the basis of participation in the divine life. Dr Andrew Robinson is Honorary University Fellow in Theology at the University of Exeter. He is author of God and the World of Signs and in 2011 was elected to membership of the International Society for Science and Religion in recognition of his work on semiotics and Christian theology. He continues to practise medicine in Newton Abbot, Devon. 'Robinson makes belief in the Trinity relevant to ordinary, everyday experience, and challenges the church to recognize the implications for its calling to be transformative, truthful, and inclusive. Once in a decade, at most, one encounters a fundamentally new and exciting way of conceiving the Trinity. 'Traces of the Trinity' is such a work. Even rarer are trinitarian theologies that arise out of cutting-edge science (in this case, biosemiotics). Scientists, philosophers, and theologians will recognize the immensely rich interweaving of ideas that Robinson accomplishes here. But you won't need a PhD to feel the spiritual tug of this vision of vestigial marks written into the very structure of Creation.' Philip Clayton, Author of 'Adventures in the Spirit'. 'In this highly accessible book, Robinson opens up the depth and relevance of biblical texts and traditional Christian dogmas. He shows how religion is deeply embedded in the very structure of human existence in all its ordinariness: how God is involved with our reality and we are involved with God's. Robinson writes with admirable clarity. I could not put the book down.' Jan-Olav Henriksen, Norwegian School of Theology, Oslo.
