the trinity and creation in karl barth
any shortcomings of karl barths view of the relationship between god and creation should not obscure the fact that his chuch dogmatics establishes the doctrine of the trinity as central to the churchs theological agenda . gordon watson proposes that the trinity as a basic hermeneutical key needs to be understood as expressing the language and the structure of the churchs liturgical experience . in this context the relationship between god and the creation takes into full account gods free condescension as creator and reconciler as well as the created integrity of the creature . the eastern churchs trinitarian vision clarifies and resolves the theological inadequacies of barths presentation . the author was a student of tf torrance and a previous version of this book was among a select few books higlighted by torrance in the preface to his second edition of karl barth an introduction to his early theology . watson taught systematic theology for many years in brisbane and has contributed numerous articles to the scottish journal of theology .
