Katherine Sonderegger follows her monumental volume on the doctrine of
God with this second entry of her Systematic Theology, which explores
the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. Locating her analysis first in the
Hebrew Scriptures, Sonderegger examines the thrice-holy God that is
proclaimed to Isaiah in the sanctuary and manifested in the sacrifice
of the temple. The book of Leviticus, read in conversation with
Exodus, unfolds the doctrine of the Trinity under the character of
holiness. In the One God, Trinity speaks of the life, movement, and
self-offering of God, who is the eternal procession of goodness and
light. In Israel's sacrificial covenant, the Triune God is perfect
self-offering: the eternal descent of the Father of Lights is the
offering who is Son, eternally received and hallowed in the one who is
Spirit. Anchoring the theology of the Trinity in Israel's Scriptures
in this way elevates the processions over the persons, exploring the
mystery of the Divine Life as holy, rational, and good. The Divine
Persons, named in the New Testament, cannot be defined but may be
glimpsed in the notion of perfection, a complete and perfect infinite
set. In all these ways, the Holy Trinity may be praised as the deep
reality of the life of God.
