This thesis is an attempt to relate the Scriptural revelation of God's
nature to the normal Christian life. It analyses the experiential factors
that originally gave rise to a triune awareness of God, arguing that a
contemporary recovery of those seminal events is requisite for an
integration of the trinity into the Christian life. After a theological
summation of the biblical revelation, the thesis then explores the nature
of the orientation of the trinity within the Christian life. This orientation
is brought about by observing the harmonious arrangement of the
different Persons within the Godhead. Once this is done we can then
ensure that this arrangement finds an echo and corresponding imprint
within the Christian life. As the Christian consistently integrates that
tripartite relationship into the Christian life, the doctrine of the trinity
will be a continual source of sustenance and direction for life and
godliness. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / Th. M. (Systematic Theology)
