ABSTRACT
As identified in the previous chapter, it is only as a form of narrative, unmoored from a description of objective reality, that allows for a structural and practical challenge to the construction of our contemporary societies by the narrative of secular modernity and the construction of Radical Orthodoxy’s approach to matters of social and religious plurality by the Milbankian approach. Given this, this chapter attempts to develop an alternative form of narrative about plurality within the broad outlines of the Radical Orthodoxy approach through drawing on and foregrounding an exploration of the triune nature of the divine and the various implications that this has for Christian theorising about plurality and practical implications. Focusing on doctrinal aspects such as the Trinity’s relation to Creation and Incarnation, the chapter develops the grounds on which a Trinitarian mode of practice can be developed, looking to the development and identification of characteristics of the intra-Trinitarian relation, such as integrity, relationality, and generative flux, as examples for the development of Christian performance within the milieu of contemporary social and religious plurality.
