"This book is dangerous for authoritarian mentalities, for the system of centralized power that always sees the [Christian] community as a body that needs to be guided, taught, and strengthened by the sacraments, and not as the great revelation contained in the mystery of Jesus Christ." -Leonardo Boff
The well-known Brazilian theologian guides the reader through the historical controversies and heresies about the Trinity, highlighting those trinitarian interpretations most significant in the context of oppression. Boff illumines the Trinity as the fruitful communion of the three Divine Persons-source and model for a human society based on universal collaboration and equality. The Trinity is thus shown to be intimately linked to political, economic, and social justice.
"Trinity and Society does not just develop classical theology but is itself a real breakthrough, combining theoretical reflections with the existential questions of daily life. Thus, the Trinity is no longer a 'happening in heaven' but the inner source of hope and dynamics for integral liberation." - Walbert Buhlmann
