| Summary: | The thesis is that the current renewal of trinitarian theology is a crucial resource for stimulating the quest for Christian unity and the mission of the church. The roots of the new trinitarianism lie in the thought of Karl Barth, a Protestant, and Karl Rahner, a Roman Catholic. This approach stands in diametrical opposition to the pluralistic theology of religions advocated by some Protestant and Catholic theologians. Sometimes called a “Copernican revolution,” the pluralistic model cuts the nerve of the church's mission by relativizing the uniqueness of Christ and the gospel. |
