  Simply God : Recovering The Classical Trinity

  $19.99

  Most contemporary presentations of the Christian God focus on either his ‘oneness’ or his ‘relationality’. These are often assumed to contradict one another, and language about God’s love and relationality often settles into a comforting but ultimately shallow and unreliable gesture towards bland niceness. Peter Sanlon offers a fresh, stimulating examination of the triune God who is love. He guides us through the classical theological tradition of Augustine, Anselm and Aquinas – aiming to help us think and speak more faithfully about God.In Part One, Sanlon introduces the vital concept of ‘simplicity’, without which it is impossible fully to affirm all the Bible teaches about God.Part Two examines the relationality of God’s love in Scripture. The author considers the importance of God’s simplicity for the atonement, and concludes with some reflections on how Christians will be better equipped to engage with contemporary culture if they remain sensitive to both God’s simplicity and his relationality.

  Additional Info
  Scholarship has painted many pictures of Augustine-the philosophical theologian, the refuter of heresy, or contributor to doctrines like Original Sin-but the picture of Augustine as preacher, says Sanlon, has been seriously neglected. When academics marginalize the Sermones ad Populum, the real Augustine is not presented accurately. In this study, Sanlon does more, however, than rehabilitate a neglected view of Augustine. How do the theological convictions that Augustine brought to his preaching challenge, sustain, or shape our work today? By presenting Augustine’s thought on preaching to contemporary readers Sanlon contributes a major new piece to the ongoing reconsideration of preaching in the modern day, a consideration that is relevant to all branches of the twenty-first century church.
