There is much to commend in this volume, and not least in Cunningham's clear passion to make a doctrine, which has so often been a by-word for mystification, make a difference. David Moss, St Stephens House, Oxford

David Cunningham has written a really remarkable book, combining the most acute historical and conceptual analysis with reflections on ethics, liturgy, literature and much besides. It is a wonderful illustration of how the doctrinal tradition of Christianity can shape a whole perception of the moral and imaginative world. Rowan Williams, Bishop of Monmouth

One of the most accessible books on the trinity in recent memory. Both scholars and the educated public have something to learn from Cunningham's ability to stir both mind and heart on issues of central significance to the Christian life. Kathryn Tanner, University of Chicago
