Trinity and Creation

The Trinity embodies the uniqueness of the Christian faith. One must wonder whether or not periods of renewed faith can be correlated with renewed interest in the deep mystery of the Triune God. In the modern era, this interest in the Christian Trinity may also be investigated in light of its relevance to prevalent existential, phenomenological, sociological, humanistic concerns and the like. At the same time, a modern Einsteinian cosmology and Darwinian biological teleology reasserts the relevance of metaphysical philosophy while in tandem utterly reframing the work and potential pertinance of Triune God of Jesus of Nazareth. In light the ascendancy of natural science in the contemporary era, it could be argued that among a variety of subject areas in need of import from Trinitarian thought, none is more relevant that a deeper investigation into the relationship between God as relational, threefold Trinity and the phenomenon of creation— that is, both the natural world and our existence within it.
