Episcopalian theologian Katherine Sonderegger regards the Trinitarian persons as fulfilling without superseding Old Testament approaches to God’s processional nature. Her metaphysically engaged scriptural mysticism challenges the Trinitarian revival with its human-focused attention to soteriology and epistemological foundationalism. But has Sonderegger escaped or merely displaced these core concerns of modern theology? And can true knowledge of God and theosis be had apart from salvation history – a challenge posed by the work of René Girard.
