ABSTRACT

In Part III we turn from epistemic relativism to ontological realism, and consider the specific onto-theological truth claims of Trinitarian Christianity: here in Chapter 7 we will differentiate the Triune God from the God of classical theism, in Chapter 8 we will explore the Christian understanding of God as Trinity, and in Chapter 9 we will investigate the economy of salvation through which the Triune God reconciles himself to his fallen creation. We will reserve the question of the epistemic justification and rational warrant of the ontological truth claims of Trinitarian theology for Parts IV and V, when we turn to the issue of judgemental rationality.
