This interdisciplinary study is the result of an international and ecumenical meeting of nineteen scholars held in New York at Easter 1998: the Trinity Summit. They are experts in fields such as the Bible, ancient Christian writers, ancient Jewish writers, theology, philosophy, art, and preaching. This is a well researched, skillfully argued,and at times provocative volume on the belief at the very heart of Christianity: the Holy Trinity.
