This week follows Trinity Sunday – I’m still reading slowly through T F Torrance’s Christian Doctrine of God. One Being Three Persons. Just negotiated my way through one of those chunks of hard to grasp theological granite for which Torrance is renowned – all about different epistemic levels ‘n a’ that stuff.
Anyway the following were written for the class last Semester when I was teaching a course on Rediscovering the Triune God. They are an exercise in theology pared down to the essentials of language, within the discipline of form and playfulness.
