What Is the Inner Life of God | A Panel with Katherine Sonderegger

Panel Discussion - The Inner Life of God The long-awaited second volume of Katherine Sonderegger’s Systematic Theology arrived in 2020. It is a book about the Inner Life of God, exploring the Immanent Trinity, the Holy Life of the One God. It is, admittedly, an “unusual dogma of Trinity,” having not Persons but Processions as its foundation and insisting that the doctrine is a deliverance of the Old Testament itself. In the author’s own words, “it is a strange book, a disorienting one, and, some would say, an impossible one.” In the words of others, the book is “magnificent,” “a marvel,” “faith-filled,” “a hymn of praise,” “like listening to someone pray.” In addition to this panel discussion, there is also a written symposium published in Sapientia, our online periodical (https://henrycenter.tiu.edu/2021/01/the-inner-life-of-god/?from_cat=1070). The essays in this symposium are written by the panelists and serve as a foundation for the event. Katherine Sonderegger (PhD Brown University) is William Meade Chair of Systematic Theology at Virginia Theological Seminary. She is author of a three-volume series in constructive dogmatics published by Fortress Press: The Doctrine of God (2015), The Doctrine of the Holy Trinity: Processions and Persons (2020), and Divine Missions, Christology, and Pneumatology (forthcoming). The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
