A study of the roots and legacy of German Idealist philosophy for trinitarian theology. Dale M. Schlitt presents a study of trinitarian thought as it was understood and debated by the German Idealists broadlyengaging Schellings philosophical interpretations of Trinity as well as Hegelsand analyzing how these Idealist interpretations influenced later philosophers and theologians. Divided into different sections, one considers nineteenth-century central Europeans Philipp Marheineke, Isaak August Dorner, and Vladimir Sergeyevich Solovyov under the rubric testimonials. Another section studies twentieth-century Germans Karl Barth, Karl Rahner, and Wolfhart Pannenberg, who share family resemblances with the Idealists, and a third addresses the work of twentieth- and twenty-first century Americans, Robert W. Jenson, Catherine Mowry LaCugna, Joseph A. Bracken, and Schlitt himself, whose work reverberates with what Schlitt terms transatlantic Idealist echoes. The book concludes with reflection on the overall German Idealist trinitarian legacy, noting several challenges it offers to those who will pursue creative trinitarian reflection in the future. Dale M. Schlitt is Professor of Philosophy, Theology, and Spirituality at the Oblate School of Theology, San Antonio. He is the author of many books, including Hegels Trinitarian Claim A Critical Reflection, also published by SUNY Press. **Review ...a monumental achievement of learning in the tradition of trinitarian thought. -- Reading Religion From the Author German Idealisms Trinitarian Legacy represents three years of further research and reflection after my presentation on the subject at an international conference at Cambridge University on the impact of German Idealism. That presentation, somewhat expanded, appears in Nicholas Boyle, Liz Disley, and Nicholas Adams, eds. The Impact of Idealism The Legacy of Post-Kantian German Thought. Vol. 4 Religion. Cambridge Cambridge University Press, 2013. Pp. 48-90. It represents in a sense a return to my first book, Hegels Trinitarian Claim A Critical Reflection. That is, it treats of Hegel on Trinity, but now from the perspective of the impact of Hegels trinitarian thought on subsequent philosophical and theological developments in the area of trinitarian thought. In this book I add a presentation on Schellings trinitarian thought in Schellings 183132 lectures on the philosophy of religion, a text to my knowledge so far only available in German. Along with Hegels influence, the book follows that of Schelling as well. It ends with a listing of a number of challenges the trinitarian thought of Hegel and Schelling continue to pose to contemporary philosophers and theologians. In a real sense, Hegel and Schelling mark a clear and, one might even say, decisive break with previous trinitarian thought based to varying extents on a philosophy of substance. They work, rather, primarily with notions of subjectivity and relationality. It is my hope that this study will encourage further reflection on the legacy left by German Idealisms philosophical interpretations of Trinity and on its continuing value for those who would think creatively about Trinity today.
