Through an exploration of the works of two contemporary theologians, John Zizioulas and Elizabeth Johnson, Patricia Fox retrieves this central Christian symbol and uncovers its transforming power for the Church and world today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGod as Communion\u003c\/i\u003e shows how both Zizioulas and Johnson, from their very different theological traditions and starting points, provide a rich understanding of the symbol of the Triune God. Fox proposes we reclaim that doctrine of the Trinity as an eminently practical doctrine that challenges Christians and the Christian Churches to transforming changes in this new century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart one examines the trinitarian theology of John Zizioulas, which focuses on the formative and seminal period of the first centuries of Christianity. Part two examines Elizabeth Johnson's exploration of the mystery of the triune God in feminist theological discourse. Part three brings the trinitarian theologies of John Zizioulas and Elizabeth Johnson into a mutually critical correlation. Fox concludes that the respective theologies of Zizioulas and Johnson together provide a rich resource for the retrieval of this ancient Christian symbol. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters under \u003ci\u003ePart One: The Trinitarian Theology of John Zizioulas\u003c\/i\u003e are The Trinitarian God - Persons in Communion,\" \"God and Creation,\" and \"The Church as Communion.\" Chapters under \u003ci\u003ePart Two: The Trinitarian Theology of Elizabeth Johnson\u003c\/i\u003e are \"Renaming the Trinitarian God,\" \"SHE WHO IS: The Being of God and Suffering,\" and \"Reclaiming the Creator Spirit, Women and Earth.\" Chapters under \u003ci\u003ePart Three: Towards a Retrieval of the Symbol of the Triune God\u003c\/i\u003e are \"Zizioulas, Johnson and the Retrieval of the Trinity,\" \"Pneumatology and Christology in Mutual Relation,\" \"Foundations for Trinitarian Theology: Persons, Naming, Structure,\" \"Trinitarian Theology in Practice: The Issues of Suffering and the Ecological Crisis,\" and \"Towards a Constructive Retrieval of the Symbol of the Triune God.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePatricia A.
