NOTES ON THE TRINITY

A few years back, I listened to theologian Miroslav Volf’s talk at Wheaton.  Many things struck/troubled me, but here are a few:

*It seems his theology has collapsed into ethics.

*I would love to hear his exegesis of John 8.

*He says rightly that Muslims reject a conception of the trinity that is not the one of orthodox Christianity.  He says the reason Muslims have done this is because most Christians can’t articulate the orthodox doctrine of the trinity.  That is also correct in a way, but Volf makes no mention that Muhammad was reacting to the worship of many tribal deities not the trinity.  I found this amazing.
