Theism, Atheism and the Doctrine of the Trinity

The Trinitarian Theologies of Karl Barth and Jürgen Moltmann in Response to Protest Atheism

W. Waite Willis, Jr.

Series : AAR Academy Series, 53

W. Waite Willis, Jr. demonstrates the apologetic usefulness of the Christsan doctrine of the Trinity for responding to the challenges of modern atheism as represetned by Feuerbach, Camus, Marx, Adorno, and Horkheimer. Utilizing materials from Karl Barth and Jürgen Moltmann, Willis demonstrates how Trinitarian theology is iconoclastic towards either theism or atheism. A Trinitarian conception of God, Willis argues, signifies both God's openness and God's relevance to the world.

Reviews

"An intelligent and extraordinarily clear presentation of modern atheism and the Christian doctrine of God, reformulated because of the atheistic challenges. [Willis's] work is opening new perspectives, because he can demonstrate the apologetic relevance of the doctrine of the Trinity in serious dialogue with a Marxist atheism."--Jürgen Moltmann
