Contemplating God with the Great Tradition: Recovering Trinitarian
Classical Theism Craig A. Carter Leading Christian theologian Craig Carter, known for his provocative defences of classical approaches to doctrine, critiques the recent trend toward modifying or rejecting classical theism in favour of modern 'relational' understandings of God. The book includes a short history of trinitarian theology from its patristic origins to the modern period, and a concluding appendix provides a brief summary of classical trinitarian theology.

Looking East in Winter: Contemporary Thought and the Eastern Christian Tradition Rowan Williams In many ways, we seem to be living in wintry times at present in the Western world. In this new book, Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury and a noted scholar of Eastern Christianity, introduces us to some aspects and personalities of the Orthodox Christian world, from the desert contemplatives of the fourth century to philosophers, novelists and activists of the modern era, that suggest where we might look for fresh light and warmth. He shows how this rich and diverse world opens up new ways of thinking about spirit and body, prayer and action, worship and social transformation, which go beyond the polarisations we take for granted.
