Modern theology claimed that it ignited a renaissance in trinitarian theology. Really, it has been a renaissance in social trinitarianism. Classical commitments like divine simplicity have been jettisoned, the three persons have been redefined as three centers of consciousness and will, and modern agendas in politics, gender, and ecclesiology determine the terms of the discussion. Contemporary trinitarian theology has followed the spirit of this trajectory, rejecting doctrines like eternal generation which were once a hallmark of Nicene orthodoxy and reintroducing subordinationism into the Trinity.Motivated by the longstanding need to retrieve the classical doctrine of the Trinity, theologian Matthew Barrett brings together Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox scholars to intervene in the conversation. With over forty contributions, this ecumenical volume resurrects the enduring legacy of Nicene orthodoxy, providing a theological introduction that listens with humility to the Great Tradition.The distinct yet united voices of On Classical Trinitarianism summon the next generation to move past modern revisionism for the sake of renewing classical trinitarian theology today. Together, they demonstrate that Nicene orthodoxy can endure in the modern world and unite the church catholic.This robust contribution to the field of systematic theology includes contributions from: Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and a range of Protestant theologiansA diverse array of Christian historians and theologiansFive women scholars

Durante demasiado tiempo, los cristianos hemos domesticado a Dios, poniéndolo a nuestro nivel como si fuera un Dios que se puede domesticar. Pero es un Dios elevado y sublime, el Creador más que la criatura, alguien a quien no se puede concebir mayor. Si Dios es el ser más perfecto y supremo, infinito e incomprensible, entonces ciertos atributos que lo hacen perfecto deben ser verdaderos en él. Perfecciones como la aseidad, la simplicidad, la inmutabilidad, la impasibilidad y la eternidad protegen a Dios de las limitaciones de las criaturas. Al mismo tiempo, este Dios todopoderoso, omnisciente y omnisapiente se conforma a sí mismo, mostrando una santidad, misericordia y amor perfectos al dar a conocerquién es y cómo nos salvará.Los atributos de Dios nos muestran exactamente por qué Dios es digno de adoración: No hay nadie como Él. Acompaña a Matthew Barrett en su redescubrimiento de estas perfecciones divinas y sorpréndete del Dios que pensabas que conocías.

"Toda la Escritura es inspirada por Dios" (2 Timoteo 3:16). De las epístolas de Pablo, se puede afirmar con confianza la inspiración divina de la Escritura. Sin embargo, volviendo a Jesús y los Evangelios, es difícil encontrar un enfoque tan explícito.Matthew Barrett argumenta que Jesús y los apóstoles tienen una doctrina de las Escrituras tan convincente como Pablo o Pedro, pero solo se descubrirá si el Evangelio se lee dentro de su propio horizonte canónico y contexto de pacto. La naturaleza de la Escritura presupuesta por Jesús y los escritores de los Evangelios se manifiesta poderosamente cuando sus palabras se leen dentro del patrón de cumplimiento de promesas del Antiguo Testamento. Nada demuestra más el origen divino, la intención del autor divino y la confiabilidad de las Escrituras que el evangelio de Jesucristo. En la venidadel Hijo de Dios, el Verbo se ha hecho carne, anunciando tanto a judíos como a gentiles que las promesas del pacto que Jehova hizo mediante la Leyy los Profetas se han cumplido en la persona y obra de Cristo. 'Matthew Barrett... despliega una visión interesante y estimulante que sin duda será recogida y desarrollada por muchos pastores y teólogos. Jesúsmismo une el antiguo y el nuevo pacto. Él cumple las Escrituras, pero lo hace de manera efectiva sólo siendo obediente a ellas. La dinámica arrojanueva luz no solo sobre Cristo sino también sobre las Escrituras mismas' (D. A. Carson).
