“The Trinity is not a further specification of a more determinative reality called god, because there is no more determinative reality than the Father, Son and Holy Spirit” (With the Grain of the Universe: The Church’s Witness and Natural Theology, 15).
Are natural theology projects sub-Christian or quasi-Christian? Do they subvert the lordship of Christ, if they are engaged apart without regard to his lordship? Do projects in natural theology tend toward the elevation of human rumination over divine revelation? In the beginning was the word . . . of God or of man?
