Short Review: A series of 18 essays about the implications of the Trinity of a variety of areas of a theology and practice. Edited by Miraslov Volf - I did not read this whole book. Instead I read the chapters that most looked interesting to me. It is pretty dense in parts. I will probably come back and read some more of it later. Not an introduction to the trinity, but an introduction to modern theology around the trinity.

A longer review is on my blog at http://bookwi.se/gods-life-in-trinity/

Wonderful collection of essays concerning the life of the Trinity. The emphasis on the life and work of Jurgen Moltmann as it relates to the social nature of the Trinity is refreshing and added depth to the collection.

I only read one chapter of this book (the one written by Kelsey) but was helped enough by that chapter to record the book lest I lose track of it.
