Traces of the Trinity: Signs of God in Creation and Human Experience
by Leithart, Peter J.
•Brazos 2015
Overview
Because the Triune God created the world, creation bears the signs of its creator. Influential Christian thinker Peter Leithart explores the pattern of mutual indwelling that characterizes creation at every level. Traces of the Trinity appear in myriad ways in everyday life, from our relations with the world and our relationships with others to sexuality, time, language, music, ethics, and logic. Leithart presents the Trinity as the Christian theory of everything, and his model not only changes how we see the world—it places profound demands on the way we live together in community.
