Book Description

Few Christians can talk about the Trinity clearly or intelligently. When we ask theologians to speak of the doctrine in plain terms, they are not always helpful either. The early ecumenical councils (Nicea and Chalcedon particularly) attempted to define aspects of the mystery with precision, but their philosophical language made it difficult for average believers to understand their pronouncements. Because of the complexity of trinitarian terminology, Christianity over the years seemed to lose something of its monotheistic character. Taylor demonstrates with clarity the role of the human Jesus in the world's salvation. Theological Reflections should stimulate new and fresh thinking about the Trinity's meaning for Contemporary Christians.

Author Bio

Michael J. Taylor is an Assistant Professor in the Department of History at the State University of New York at Albany. Previously, he was a Lecturer of History at the University of California, Berkeley and a Lecturer of Classics at Santa Clara University.

He holds a Ph.D. in Ancient History from UC Berkeley and an A.B. in History from Princeton University. His research focuses on the Roman Republic and the Hellenistic world during the third and second centuries BC.

His dissertation, a comparative study of state revenues and the military mobilizations of Rome, Carthage, and the Hellenistic kingdoms, examines these metrics of state power against the outcomes of interstate conflict. Other research interests include politics in Republican Rome, Roman military organization, and visual representations of warfare in the ancient world.

While in graduate school, he served as an officer in the California Army National Guard, deploying to Iraq as a platoon leader and Kosovo as a company executive officer.
