SCRIPTURE AND METAPHYSICS: AQUINAS AND THE RENEWAL OF TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY
Book Description
In this profound exploration of divine mystery, Matthew Webb Levering invites readers into a transformative encounter with the nature of God as Trinity. Drawing upon the wisdom of Thomas Aquinas, Levering presents Trinitarian theology not merely as academic doctrine, but as a spiritual practice that guides seekers from self-centered living toward God-centered existence.
The author demonstrates how genuine understanding of the divine requires both deep engagement with biblical revelation and rigorous metaphysical reflection. This dual approach prevents the reduction of God to human projections while opening pathways to authentic spiritual contemplation. Levering argues that when scriptural insight joins with philosophical depth, believers can approach the mystery of God as One and Three without falling into idolatrous thinking.
Following the structure of Aquinas's theological masterwork, the book weaves together insights from contemporary theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers. Rather than presenting dry theological concepts, Levering shows how contemplative wisdom emerges through careful study of both scripture and metaphysics.
For readers seeking to deepen their understanding of divine mystery while cultivating genuine spiritual transformation, this work offers a rigorous yet accessible path. The book challenges seekers to move beyond superficial spirituality toward the kind of contemplative engagement that reshapes one's entire orientation toward the sacred. Through this integration of biblical and philosophical wisdom, readers discover how theological study becomes a vehicle for profound personal and spiritual growth.
