Testimonials to Experience of the Trinity

Testimonials to Experience of the Trinity is a study in

spirituality of the Trinity. ‘Testimonial’ refers to an affirming

witness to experience of the Trinity offered with the intention of

encouraging such experience or openness to it. This approach through

testimonials provides access to experiences of the Trinity and the

varying forms they take. After an initial chapter on Jesus as

Spirit-empowered son of Abba, the study presents 15 testimonials

to experience of the Trinity. They represent four periods in the history

of Christianity in its worldwide expansion and exemplify literary and

artistic mediums through which testimonials have been offered. The study

suggests that each testimonial and the experience it relates forms a

trinitarian spirituality, indeed a discipleship spirituality, rooted in

Jesus’ experience of God. The study will be of personal interest while

contributing to research in areas such as spirituality, theology,

religious studies, philosophical theology, and philosophy of religion.
