Contents:
In the beginning : the concept of light in Scripture and theology -- God's shining forth : the light of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit -- The light of the gospel : God's radiant event of love -- Pro ecclesia : the saints in the light of God -- The illumined mind : theology in the presence of the Radiant One.
Summary: God's Shining Forth offers a theological presentation of divine light in which the leading motif is the doctrine of the Trinity. More precisely, this study is organized around a double trinitarian theme: God is light in himself, and from himself God is radiant in relation to human creatures .. Andrew Hay argues that the scriptural statement "God is light" is best understood as a confession of the eternal, fully realized life of the triune God in its wholly gratuitous electing, reconciling, and illuminating human creatures in the darkness of sin and death.
