In this volume, Otmar Meuffels examines how and where committed Christians can bring their Trinitarian faith into civic citizenship and whether the Trinitarian faith's aptitude for plurality can meet current political theory at eye level and is accordingly also capable of participating in societal discussion.
In this volume, Otmar Meuffels examines how and where committed Christians can bring their Trinitarian faith into civic citizenship. Assuming communicative-structural thought, an up-to-date aesthetic-dramatic Christology is developed in the Trinitarian creed, which then introduces God the Father as the creator of a world offering the scope to be part of social fulfilments. Added to this is the Holy Ghost's power that can pervade and persuade believers to help fashion society. The question is thus posed whether the Trinitarian faith's aptitude for plurality can meet current political theory at eye level and is accordingly also capable of participating in societal discussion.
