    About this audiobook

    The Trinity is supposed to be the central doctrine grounding Christianity, yet we're often told that we shouldn't attempt to understand it because it's a mystery. But what if we breached that mystery? How might it transform our relationship with God? Although the word 'trinity' isn't found in the New Testament-it wasn't until the third century that it was coined-the idea of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit was present in Jesus' life and teachings. In the pages of this book, internationally recognized teacher Richard Rohr circles around this paradoxical idea-and circling around is an apt metaphor: early Christians applied the Greek verb for dance to the mystery of the Trinity, saying whatever is going on in God is a flow-it's like a dance.

    • 5/5
      I enjoyed listening to a deep dive into why the Trinity matters and how we can bring ourselves to a closer relationship with each aspect of God.
    • 3/5
      There were several concepts I liked, like the error of transaction atonement, but the book was much longer than it should have been. It was a bit of a chore to finish.
    • 4/5
      Loved the exploration of the trinity as community. The narrator was fine but would have preferred Rohr’s voice.
    • 5/5
      It wove in the intricate pattern of the Trinity so eloquently into everyday life and made the theology very simple. Explaining the oneness yet tripartite being of God and how we are woven into His reality, because of Him.
    • 5/5
      Good to understand relationship of and to our triune God. Wonderful food for thought and prayer in contemplating His nature.
    • 5/5
      this book make a difficult subject simple, helping to describe the trinity in such a soft good natured way.truely an enlightening experience
    • 4/5
      This book is an attempt to understand the concept of the Trinity in relational terms. It’s taken me several weeks to finish it, and it’s the kind of book that I could start rereading immediately, as I’m sure I’ve missed a great deal. Much of the book, as its critics point out, refers to ‘flow’ and the ‘dance’ of the Trinity, existing from before the universe existed, in a perfect love relationship. These aren't new thoughts to me, but I was struck by the idea of continual flow in ongoing creation, and participating in the ‘divine dance’. Traditional evangelicals will probably find much to criticise in this book. I admit I had moments myself of wondering whether some of it was heresy. However I like the style very much; the writing is persuasive, and encouraging, and most of it resonated strongly. Overall I liked this book very much, and would recommend it to anyone interested in knowing more about the Trinity.
    • 4/5
      Good book, but I recommend reading it a little at a time than at one go. There's a lot to unpack and if you read too fast you'll miss it. So, my advice is to read it in sips, not gulps.

    • 5/5
      Rohr is a mystic of the highest order and it’s been a long time since I’ve had my Protestant faith challenged in so loving and earnest terms. I’m quoting him often now and hope to revisit this book in paper form.
