The Trinitarian Theology of Stanley J. Grenz

Publisher Description

Exploring one of the
most important and controversial figures in recent evangelical theology, this
book provides an exhaustive examination of the core elements of Stanley Grenz's
work. Amidst the critique that Grenz received during his lifetime, Jason Sexton
locates the categorical aims for his re-imagining of evangelical theology as
overtly Trinitarian. The book
uncovers the impact of the theology of Wolfhart Pannenberg, his doctoral
supervisor, upon his thought, and chronicles the development of a Trinitarian
methodology. There is also consideration given to how Grenz's depiction of the
Trinity in the Imago Dei concept shaped
his reading of scripture.
By examining how Grenz's
Trinitarian perspective informed his theology and theological ethics, Sexton
ultimately concludes that Grenz was not only a deeply conservative and
thoroughly Trinitarian evangelical theologian, but that he was also arguably
the premier evangelical theologian of his generation.
