This month, Alan Padgett recommends “God, Sexuality and the Self: An Essay ‘On the Trinity'” (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2013), by Sarah Coakley.
Padgett comments, “This book provides a fairly readable presentation of a whole-body theological approach (theologie totale) by one of the most eminent of theologians active today. It has already hit the theology blog pond. In it, Sarah Coakley defends the doctrine of the Trinity in terms of prayer, patristics, gender theory, desire and religious experience. It is a fascinating theological odyssey.”
