Metaphysics and the Tri-Personal God (Oxford Studies in Analytic Theology) - Softcover

This is an insightful, clear, rigorous, and helpful account. (James T. Turner, Jr The Expository Times)

I must end by congratulating Hasker on a very informative, very clear, . . . very persuasive, and much needed book. (Richard Swinburne, International Journal for Philosophy of Religion)

It is a splendid work of devoted theological scholarship. (Keith E. Yandell, Journal of Theological Studies)

This is the first full-length study of the doctrine of the Trinity from the standpoint of analytic philosophical theology. William Hasker reviews the evidence concerning fourth-century pro-Nicene trinitarianism in the light of recent developments in the scholarship on this period, arguing for particular interpretations of crucial concepts. He then reviews and criticizes recent work on the issue of the divine three-in-oneness, including systematic theologians such as Barth, Rahner, Moltmann, and Zizioulas, and analytic philosophers of religion such as Leftow, van Inwagen, Craig, and Swinburne. In the final part of the book he develops a carefully articulated social doctrine of the Trinity which is coherent, intelligible, and faithful to scripture and tradition.
