| Summary: | While doctoral dissertations tend to be notoriously wordy and dense documents, not many of them are mature works of such sophistication that they can appear, as this one does, after the end of a lifetime of writing, and yet as arguably its pinnacle—both presaging and completing a theologian's life's work. That this book has taken so long to appear, for whatever reason, constitutes a serious omission. How much thinking on the Trinity, Christology, and the Christian doctrine of the human person in the last half century would have benefited from this dissertation's having been available in the public domain! And how much light might have been cast with profit on the author's subsequent work!, Reading a book such as this is like climbing a long mountain spur. |
