God-talk and the question of being human
Bentley, Wessel
The doctrine of the Trinity has, for centuries, dominated God-talk and the view of humanity
within the framework of sin and salvation. This article investigated how God-talk, specifically
the doctrine of the Trinity in Christian theology, speaks about both the nature of the Godhead
and who we are as human beings. The article followed the outlines of our understanding of
God’s transcendence, immanence and presence in experienced reality. It then proposed a new
metaphor to describe the Trinity and how this affects the human quest for identity in a complex
universe.
