CRI Resource: Life in the Trinity: An Introduction to Theology with the Help of the Church Fathers
Description
Description
Although introductions to Christian theology often refer to its biblical foundations, seldom is much attention paid to the key insights the early church had into the nature of Christian faith and life. Donald Fairbairn takes us back to those biblical roots and to the central convictions of the early church, especially in our understanding of God as Trinity, the person of Christ, and the nature of our salvation as sharing in the Son’s relationship to the Father. Fairbairn integrates “the various truths of Christianity around a single theme that has been articulated clearly by some of the greatest theologians of the early church. This theme is the relationship between God the Father and God the Son, a relationship in which believers share as we are united to God by the Holy Spirit.” Fairbairn goes on to show that “the conviction of many of the church fathers was that all of Christian life was meant to be a reflection of and participation in that central relationship between the Father and the Son.”
