Trinity in Asian perspective, The
Book Description
Many Western Christians struggle to comprehend how God can simultaneously be one divine being and three distinct persons. This theological puzzle has perplexed believers for centuries, often leading to frustration or abandonment of the Trinity doctrine altogether.
Jung Young Lee proposes that the difficulty lies not in the doctrine itself, but in Western thinking patterns that force reality into rigid "either/or" categories. When we approach the Trinity through this exclusive lens, we miss its fundamentally inclusive nature—a divine mystery that embraces both unity and multiplicity without contradiction.
Lee introduces readers to the Asian philosophical framework of yin and yang, which naturally operates through "both/and" logic rather than Western exclusivity. This ancient wisdom tradition offers fresh conceptual tools for understanding not only the Trinity, but reality itself. By drawing from various East Asian religious perspectives, Lee demonstrates how global theological thinking can illuminate Christian doctrine in profound new ways.
This work challenges readers to expand beyond familiar Western theological boundaries and embrace a more contextual approach to understanding God's nature. Lee's creative reinterpretation reveals how different cultural lenses can deepen rather than diminish Christian faith, offering a pathway toward greater theological comprehension.
For those seeking to bridge Eastern wisdom and Christian theology, this book provides thoughtful exploration of how diverse spiritual traditions can enrich our understanding of divine mystery.
