What does it mean to live in a world created by the triune God? And what does a sharpening of our understanding of Christ within the trinity do to our conception of God as a whole? As mystifying as it is poetic and as frustrating as it is revolutionary, the theology of Robert Jenson never strays far from questions which threaten to reconfigure our whole doctrinal tradition. A critical figure in understanding doctrinal debates, Jenson’s work is nonetheless incredibly hard to get a handle on. “Jesus in the Trinity” presents a much-needed primer on the theologian, demystifying his work and exploring the place his thinking has in the life of faith today.
