Trinity and Humanity: An Introduction to the Theology of Colin Gunton

by Uche Anizor

Colin Gunton is regarded by many as one of the most important English theologians of the twentieth century. A prolific writer and creative thinker, Gunton taught at King's College, London, for over thirty years, until his untimely death in 2003. In this first single-authored introduction to Gunton's theology, Uche Anizor traces the key theological themes, major contributors, and criticisms of his work. Each chapter provides a synthesis and overview of Gunton's thought on a particular doctrine or set of doctrines, calling attention to the Trinitarian shape of his theology. In Trinity and Humanity, Anizor provides a handy entree into the corpus of this major thinker.

[Joseph Sverker · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very welcomed book. To my mind Colin Gunton is a theologian significant enough for an introduction to his thoughts. Anizor writes clearly and presents Gunton's most basic areas of thought. It is, I would say, directed to a general reading public, but some scholarly engagements are made. I like it how Anizor have a critical comment at the end of each chapter and then a more wider appreciation at the end of the book. I might have to get back more to some in-depth and detailed comments when I have time.
