Joseph A. Bracken argues that in academia today theology and science don’t generate cohesion because there is no integrated system for interpreting the Christian faith that consciously accords with the insights and discoveries of contemporary science.
In The World in the Trinity, Bracken uses systems theory as a philosophical and scientific grammar to show traditional Christian beliefs in a new light—presenting them as accessible and rationally plausible to a contemporary, scientifically-influenced society. This account opens new possibilities for rethinking the God-world relationship, the Trinity, incarnation, creation, and eschatology within the context of a broader ecological and cosmological system. In re-describing these central articles of Christian belief, Bracken is careful to retain the inherent power and meaning of these concepts. This volume freshly retrieves pivotal themes and concepts constitutive of the Christian tradition in a conscious rapprochement with current scientific understandings of nature.
