What is Participating in God : a pastoral doctrine of the Trinity about?

"Participating in God claims that a doctrine of the Trinity cannot be developed in isolation from pastoral experience. It is not sufficient to view the persons of the Trinity as offering a mere example for human relationships; actual participation in this triune communion shapes both our knowledge of God and the pastoral practices that flow from it. Paul S. Fiddes develops a radical understanding of the 'persons' in God as nothing other than relations, or as movements of divine relationship into which we are drawn." "This new book engages in conversation with recent thought about the Trinity in Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox theology. But it does so always through theological reflection on pastoral concerns. Fiddes brings the doctrine of the Trinity into dialogue with key issues, including the relation of the individual to community, the nature of power and authority, the effect of intercessory prayer, the problems of suffering, the power of forgiveness, the threat of death, the use of spiritual gifts, and the living of a sacramental life." "Participating in God is essential reading for all those interested in Christian doctrine and pastoral care."--Jacket
