The Divine Name(s) and the Holy Trinity: Distinguishing the Voices
"A major achievement." Robert W. Jenson, Professor Emeritus of Religion, St. Olaf College"Soulen proposes a new paradigm for analyzing Trinitarian language.... Highly recommended."  --ChoiceKendall Soulen manages both to surprise and confound the reader by showing how much the naming of God matters and why....Even judged by writing style alone, Soulen's felicitous prose and conceptual clarity make this book exceptional."  --The Presbyterian Outlook"The chapters read like a brilliant detective story, with the clues as well documented as the conclusion is revealing." --Christopher Morse, Dietrich Bonhoeffer Professor of Theology and Ethics, Union Theological Seminary"[O]ne of the most important contributions to Trinitarian theology in many years." --Cultural Encounters"There is a wonderfully creative theological imagination at work here." --David Kelsey, Luther A. Weigle Professor of Theology Emeritus, Yale Divinity SchoolSoulen's polished style and refined architectonics almost hide the fact that his proposal is as wide-ranging as it is weighty. -- International Journal of Systematic Theology"Few scholars can claim to have discerned a new research paradigm. And few of these have themselves carried it out, with a fully ramified development. Kendall Soulen has done both. A major achievement." Robert W. Jenson, Professor Emeritus of Religion, St. Olaf College"Thoroughly researched and beautifully written, this book makes a deeply important contribution to the central question of theology. At once clear, learned, and engaging, Soulen's approach stakes out an original way of understanding that will enlighten interested readers inside and outside the academy. One of the best books on naming God in years." Elizabeth A. Johnson, C.S.J., Distinguished Professor of Theology, Fordham University"The chapters read like a brilliant detective story, with the clues as well documented as the conclusion is revealing." Christopher L. Morse, Professor of Theology and Ethics, Union Theological Seminary"Disciplined by careful and acute analysis of the history of Trinitarian theology, there is a wonderfully creative theological imagination at work here." David H. Kelsey, Professor Emeritus of Theology, Yale Divinity School
