Critics Review
“A masterful, insightful new look at a core doctrine of traditional Christianity.
“A masterful, insightful new look at a core doctrine of traditional Christianity. Cynthia Bourgeault opens the door to a trans-Christian vision.“—John Shelby Spong, author of The Fourth Gospel: Tales of a Jewish Mystic“The Christian Doctrine of the Trinity is upheld by some as a border checkpoint to restrict access, while it is disparaged by others as extra baggage to be left behind. Cynthia Bourgeault peers into it with the heart of a mystic and the mind of a philosopher and rediscovers it as a kaleidoscope of inspiration and a key to understanding … everything. One of the most fascinating, humbling, and awe-inspiring books I’ve read in years.”—Brian D. McLaren, author of A Generous Orthodoxy
