Abstract

Considering the major social Trinitarian theologians of the twentieth century, this article investigates how themes of social Trinitarianism might encourage and challenge churches in the Southwestern U.S. toward revision of theological and ethical praxis. Specifically, it investigates the themes of perichoresis, mutuality, egalitarianism, openness to other, and love. Promoting that since human beings are created in God’s image to be socially interconnected, these Trinitarian concepts make both prophetic and ethical demands upon churches in this region regarding cultural diversity and the embracing of “the other."
