# Offsite Review: The Quest for the Trinity

[![Holmes, Stephen R. The Quest for the Trinity: The Doctrine of God in Scripture, History and Modernity](https://bookwi.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/quest.jpeg)](http://rdtwot.wordpress.com/2012/12/25/the-quest-for-the-trinity-the-doctrine-of-god-in-scripture-history-and-modernity/)I am interested in [The Quest for the Trinity: The Doctrine of God in Scripture, History and Modernity](http://rdtwot.wordpress.com/2012/12/25/the-quest-for-the-trinity-the-doctrine-of-god-in-scripture-history-and-modernity/) as a corrective to some other modern theology movements around the trinity.  It is finally [available for kindle](http://www.amazon.com/The-Quest-Trinity-Scripture-ebook/dp/B00ASKDDDI/) and so I will probably pick it up soon.  Nick Norelli’s review is mixed, but positive enough in the areas that I am interested in that I still think I will pick it up.

> There’s been a steady stream of books published on the doctrine of the Trinity over the last few decades. Many of them tell the same story about the “œrecovering” or “œrediscovery” of the doctrine, which had allegedly been “œlost” or “œforgotten.” We’re often told that since Karl Barth and Karl Rahner there has been a “œrenaissance” of Trinitarian theology. Recent works (e.g., the multi-authored The Oxford Handbook of the Trinity) have rightly challenged this notion by pointing out that the Trinity has never ceased to be a topic for reflection among theologians in any era.
