ABSTRACT
Thinking God as Trinity can be deeply worthwhile for feminist theology because it celebrates, reinforces and affirms the central values of difference and subjectivity which underpin feminist appeals to women's experience. Importantly, however, thinking God as Trinity also provides a theological mandate for the practising and implementation of these values. If difference and subjectivity are values which communicate something meaningful about what God is like and are therefore identified as Christian as well as feminist values, then feminist calls for liberative praxis are in fact informed and supported by this understanding of God. Giving and generosity are, therefore, at the centre of the trinitarian life. God gives without self-seeking and for the benefit of others. The journey towards wholeness which compromises God's work of salvation within us is not simply a private spiritual matter in which God is the only active agent, but a social and collective responsibility in which we are invited to work alongside God as co-redeemers.
