Most contemporary presentations of the Christian God focus on either his 'oneness' or his 'relationality'.
These are often assumed to contradict one another, and language about God's love and relationality often settles into a comforting but ultimately shallow and unreliable gesture towards bland niceness. Peter Sanlon offers a fresh, stimulating examination of the triune God who is love. He guides us through the classical theological tradition of Augustine, Anselm and Aquinas - aiming to help us think and speak more faithfully about God.
In Part One, Sanlon introduces the vital concept of 'simplicity', without which it is impossible fully to affirm all the Bible teaches about God.
Part Two examines the relationality of God's love in Scripture. The author considers the importance of God's simplicity for the atonement, and concludes with some reflections on how Christians will be better equipped to engage with contemporary culture if they remain sensitive to both God's simplicity and his relationality.
Born in N. Ireland, Peter holds Theology degrees from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge (MAOxon, MPhil, PhD). He is an occasional lecturer at various seminaries and theological colleges, and enjoys speaking at university missions. He is a distance tutor in Systematic Theology for St. John's College, Nottingham.
Prior to ordination in the Church of England, Peter was a speech writer for a peer in the House of Lords. Today he is vicar of St. Mark's Church, Royal Tunbridge Wells. He is married and has two children. In free time he enjoys reading biographies of British Prime Ministers, board games and visiting National Trust properties.
