Gloriously illuminated by a series of fine art paintings, The Christian Vision of God is an ideal introduction to what Christians believe about the Trinity.
Alister McGrath seeks to engage both the mind and the imagination as he focuses on the astounding, life-transforming truth that God wants us to know Him. Poetry, prayer and theological reflection are interwoven with commentary on the ideas conveyed through works such as Daniel Bonnell's Pearl of Great Price, Klimt's The Kiss, Rembrandt's The Storm on the Sea of Galilee, Morazzone's Pentecost, William Blake's Moses and the Burning Bush, Botticelli's Holy Trinity and Rublev's Icon with the Trinity. The result assures us that, in the end, our Christian faith concerns far more than growing in understanding: it is about being saturated with the presence and power of a loving and living God.
Though a stand alone volume, The Christian Vision of God also serves to complete Alister McGrath's acclaimed Truth and the Christian Imagination series.
