Excerpt from The Swedenborg Library: Creation, Incarnation, Redemption, and Other Divine Trinity Thus God is brought graciously near to our feeble comprehension in the Humanity that He assumed and glorified. And they who approach, love and worship Him in his Divine Humanity, or as revealed in the person of Jesus Christ, worship all of Divinity that the mind and heart of man are able to compre hend and love. For in Him, as the Apostle says, dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead [or Divin ity] bodily. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"Why be concerned with the Trinity? What does it mean to say, "I believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?" In this accessible work Leonardo Boff takes up the ancient doctrine of the Trinity showing its meaning and relevance for Christian faith today." "In a series of short chapters Boff unpacks the mysteries of the Trinity, spelling out the difference it makes to believe that God is communion rather than solitude. Instead of an image of God as solitary ruler standing aloof above a static universe, belief in the Trinity means that at the root of everything there is movement, there is an eternal process of life, of outward movement, and love." "While comprehensive in his treatment of the theological and anthropological dimensions of the Trinity, Boff is especially interested in the social implications. In the Trinity we find a program of liberation to the infinite degree: "difference and distinction, equality and perfect communion." The Holy Trinity is, among other things, the image of the perfect community. At the same time, in the Trinity we find the best image of the church: not a hierarchy of power, but a community of diverse gifts and functions. Thus comprehension of the Trinity, in which God comes out to meet us in the full realization of our yearnings, empowers our efforts for a better world and a more faithful church.
