A study of the roots and legacy of German Idealist philosophy for trinitarian theology.

Dale M. Schlitt presents a study of trinitarian thought as it was understood and debated by the German Idealists broadly-engaging Schelling's philosophical interpretations of Trinity as well as Hegel's-and analyzing how these Idealist interpretations influenced later philosophers and theologians. Divided into different sections, one considers nineteenth-century central Europeans Philipp Marheineke, Isaak August Dorner, and Vladimir Sergeyevich Solovyov under the rubric testimonials. Another section studies twentieth-century Germans Karl Barth, Karl Rahner, and Wolfhart Pannenberg, who share family resemblances with the Idealists, and a third addresses the work of twentieth- and twenty-first century Americans, Robert W. Jenson, Catherine Mowry LaCugna, Joseph A. Bracken, and Schlitt himself, whose work reverberates with what Schlitt terms transatlantic Idealist echoes. The book concludes with reflection on the overall German Idealist trinitarian legacy, noting several challenges it offers to those who will pursue creative trinitarian reflection in the future.
