Triune Well-Being (eBook, ePUB)

The Kenotic-Enrichment of the Eternal Trinity

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

That God is the perfection of all-blessed abundance, and the source and context for creation's well-being, tends merely to be assumed in theology. Yet, how does God enact all-blessedness and actualize God's own abundantly enriched life? And how might such a reality be relevant to human well-being? Addressing these questions in Triune Well-Being: The Kenotic-Enrichment of the Eternal Trinity, Jacqueline Service traces the dynamics of Divine well-being through Scripture, Christian metaphysics, and a synthesis of Orthodox (Bulgakov), Catholic (Von Balthasar), and Protestant (Pannenberg) Trinitarian theologies to argue that God's "all-blessed" life, the glory of well-being, is symbiotic with triune self-giving (kenosis); a concept identified as "kenotic-enrichment" or "enriching-kenosis." Such a trinitarian exploration not only offers a fresh perspective on the contested topic of kenosis but goes to the heart of a doctrine of God that implicates the possibility of the well-being of all life.
