Trimantra
by Dada BhagwanDie Religionen der Welt bewahren Wissen und schützen die Geheimnisse der alten kraftvollen Mantren. Das Navkar Mantra oder auch Trimantra genannt, steht im Zentrum der Weltreligion und gehört zu den kraftvollsten Mantren in der Geschichte der Religion. Im Buch “Trimantra” erklärt der Gnani Purush Dada Bhagwan (Verkörperung des Wissens über das Selbst) das Trimantra, seine Bedeutung und die außerordentlichen Vorteile, wenn man es rezitiert. Ob es darum geht frei von Sorgen zu leben, während man sich im täglichen Leben mit Problemen konfrontiert sieht. Ob man sich fragt, wie man inneren Frieden erlangen kann, oder auf einer spirituellen Suche nach Erleuchtung (Selbstrealisation) ist - indem man das Trimantra anwendet, wird dies zur Verfügung stehen – und noch viel mehr. Unter den vielen spirituellen Büchern, die heute verfügbar sind, ist Param Pujya Dadashri´s spiritueller Leitfaden über den Wert des Trimantra und wie man am besten auf seine spirituelle Kraft zugreifen kann, unschätzbar.
El Trimantra
by Dada BhagwanLa gente discute sobre lo que es “mío” y lo que es “tuyo” en la religión. Para mantener tales disputas a raya está el Trimantra. Cuando uno comprende el significado fundamental del Trimantra (una oración auspiciosa), uno se dará cuenta de que no es un mantra de una religión en exc lusiva, o de una secta o división de una religión. Los saludos en el Trimantra son ofrecidos a todos los seres vivos de conciencia suprema empezando por aquellos que han obtenido la Realización del Ser hasta aquellos que han alcanzado el estado de liberación final, el moksha. Mediante estas reverencias, los obstáculos que existen en la vida de uno son despejados, encontrando uno la paz en medio de las dificultades y comenzando a diriguirse hacia la meta del moksha. El Gnani Purush Dadashri (maestro de esta ciencia espiritual) nos ha entregado este Trimantra. Este mantra es totalmente imparcial. El nos pide que lo recitemos cinco veces con plena conciencia por la mañana y por la noche. Hacer esto provocará que todas tus actividades mundanas transcurran armoniosamente.Si tienes muchos problemas, debes recitarlo durante una hora; con ello te darás cuenta como la carga de tus problemas queda notablemente reduc ida. Este mantra tiene el poder de someter todas las dificultades ¡ Puede hacer que una montaña aparezca como pequeña loma ! Param Pujya Dadashri explica cómo este mantra eleva a aquellos que lo recitan con la comprensión correcta ¡ Recitalo tú mismo y experimenta como tus problemas se reducen considerablemente !
Trimantra: त्रिमंत्र
by Dada Bhagwanधर्म में तू-तू मैं-मैं से झगड़े होते हैं। इसे दूर करने के लिए यह निष्पक्षपाती त्रिमंत्र है। इस त्रिमंत्र का मूल अर्थ यदि समझे तो उनका किसी भी व्यक्ति या संप्रदाय या पंथ से कोई संबंध नहीं है। आत्मज्ञानी, केवलज्ञानी और निर्वाण प्राप्त करके मोक्षगति प्राप्त करनेवाले उच्च, जागृत आत्माओं को नमस्कार है। जिन्हें नमस्कार करके संसारी विघ्न दूर होते हैं, अडचनों में शांति रहती है और मोक्ष का लक्ष्य बैठना शुरू हो जाता है। आत्मज्ञानी परम पूज्य दादा भगवान ने निष्पक्षपाती त्रिमंत्र प्रदान किया है। इसे सुबह-शाम ५-५ बार उपयोगपूर्वक बोलने को कहा है। इससे सांसारिक कार्य शांतिपूर्वक संपन्न होते हैं। ज़्यादा अडचनों की स्थित में घंटा-घंटाभर बोलें तो सूली का घाव सुई से टल जाएगा। निष्पक्षपाती त्रिमंत्र का शब्दार्थ, भावार्थ और किस प्रकार यहाँ हितकारी हैं, इसका खुलासा दादाश्री ने इस पुस्तक मं दिया है।
La trinchera de occidente: A 70 años del Estado de Israel
by Julio María SanguinettiJulio María Sanguinetti, periodista desde su primera juventud, recoge aquí textos de medio siglo sobre el tema judío, la intolerancia y las batallas del Medio Oriente. Hace 70 años en Naciones Unidas se crearon, sobre la histórica Palestina, dos Estados: uno judío y otro árabe. Sin embargo, los gobernantes de los países árabes no aceptaron esa resolución y se lanzaron a una guerra para destruir a Israel. Desde el primer día, entonces, el nuevo estado aprendió a luchar con las armas en la mano para sobrevivir. Lo ha logrado, pero no ha podido alcanzar una paz plena. Hoy, el radicalismo musulmán va incluso más allá: enfrenta a todo Occidente y sus valores. A lo largo de este periplo se anudan prejuicios, fanatismos, racismos, intereses y guerras, hasta este presente en el que Israel ya no es más el pequeño David enfrentando al poderoso Goliath. Ha logrado sobrevivir con éxito y construir una moderna democracia, lo que excita viejas envidias y acarrea nuevos enemigos. Sin embargo, más que nunca, es la "trinchera de Occidente". De su fortaleza depende la de Europa y nuestra civilización. Julio María Sanguinetti presenta un libro donde no faltan las polémicas, especialmente en los últimos años, en que el "antisemitismo" se viste de "antisionismo" para sustentar siempre la misma causa: la destrucción de Israel y lo que él representa.

Trinitarian Theology and Power Relations
by Meredith MinisterThis text crafts a trinitarian theology that reorients theology from presumptions about the immateriality of the Trinity toward the places where the Trinity matters--material bodies in historical contexts and the intersecting ways political and theological power structures normalize and marginalize bodies on the basis of material difference.
Trinitarian Theology in Medieval and Reformation Thought
by John T. SlotemakerThis book is an introduction to trinitarian theology as it developed from the late medieval period. John T. Slotemaker presents an overview of the central aspects of trinitarian theology by focusing on four themes: theological epistemology, the emanations in God, the divine relations, and the Trinity of persons. He does so by exploring a broad range of theological opinions on each subject and delineating the options that existed for medieval theologians from the early thirteenth century through the sixteenth. He argues that despite the diversity of opinion on a given subject, there is a normative theological center that grounds late medieval trinitarian theology. This center consists of theological developments involving the adoption of Peter Lombard’s Sentences as a theological textbook, the conciliar decisions of Lateran IV, and a shared Aristotelian philosophical background of Western trinitarian theology.
The Trinitarian Theology of Jonathan Edwards: Text, Context, and Application

Key primary texts, interpretation, and application of Edwards' trinitarian theology are all presented here. Part one features Edwards' chief trinitarian writings and provides an in-depth analysis on his doctrine. Part two sets Edwards' trinitarianism in historical context. Part three demonstrates how Edwards employed the Trinity in his sermons, in spiritual formation, and in other areas of doctrine.

Trinity: One God, Three Persons (People's Bible Teachings)
by Richard D BalgeWhat do Christians mean when we say we worship a triune God?Two of the most common and oldest of the Christian confessions of faith are the Nicene and Apostles’ Creeds. In those statements of faith, Christians profess belief in the triune God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.Are these three persons the same God? Is the Trinity just one of the many ways to describe God? What does triune even mean?Trinity uses the Bible itself to show the truth about the Trinity. It answers the questions, “Can God be known?” and “How can God be known?” and comforts you with the knowledge that what God says about himself in the Bible is what you absolutely need to know in order to be saved.Through this book, you will grow in appreciation for what God says about himself—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—in his Word!
Trinity: The God We Don't Know
by Jason ByasseeMost people assume they know what they mean when they use the word "God." They mean a powerful old guy in the sky ready to obliterate us if we do wrong but basically benevolent, if a little senile. The Christian doctrine of the Trinity shows us God is vastly more interesting. God is actually fleshed among us in Jesus, poured out on us in the Holy Spirit's intoxication of the church. God is three divine persons in perfect harmony and beauty--and God invites us into that unimaginable intimacy. We don't know this God, but we should. Trinity uses scripture, the Early Church tradition, and some modern theology to argue that God is a mystery whom we can't understand but who can shape our misunderstanding to allow for faithful living and holy love of God and neighbor. "Jason Byassee thinks like a theologian, writes like a journalist, and communicates like a storyteller. We live in a time of trinitarian dissonance, when the central doctrine of the Christian faith is strangely neglected by most Christians. Byassee's wonderful exploration of the Trinity offers a remedy for that by providing a meat-and-potatoes introduction to the God who is at once Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. An excellent spiritual guide for both mature Christians and those brand new to the Christian faith." --Rev. Dr. Andrew C. Thompson, Assistant Professor of Historical Theology &Wesleyan Studies, Memphis Theological Seminary, Memphis, TN, and Wesley Scholar for the Arkansas Conference of the United Methodist Church "In trying to communicate the trinitarian relationship, Byassee succeeds in making the indescribable a little more coherent while reminding us of the all-consuming love of God. Trinity is a little book of rigorous thought and deep devotion. It is rare these days to find a work of theology that stirs the intellect, the heart, and the spirit. And I have to admit, in reading this book, I fell in love with the Holy Spirit all over again." --Enuma Okoro, Nigerian-American writer, speaker, and award-winning author of Reluctant Pilgrim, Silence, and Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals
The Trinity: An Introduction to Catholic Doctrine on the Triune God (Thomistic Ressourcement Series; Ser. #V. 1)
by Gilles Emery OP&“A sound introduction to a crucial doctrine. Emery&’s prose is scholarly yet widely accessible, at once traditional and constructive&” (Themelios). Representing the highest quality of scholarship, Gilles Emery offers a much-anticipated exploration to Catholic doctrine on the Trinity. His extensive research combined with lucid prose provides readers a resource to better understand the foundations of Trinitarian reflection and addresses all who wish to benefit from an initiation to Trinitarian doctrine. The path proposed by this introductory work comprises six steps—from liturgical and biblical ways for entering into Trinitarian faith to the creative and saving action of the Trinity. The book concludes with a doctrinal exposition of the &“missions&” of the Son and Holy Spirit, that is, the salvific sending of the Son and Holy Spirit that leads humankind to the contemplation of the Father. &“Trinitarian doctrine is not easy, but Emery (with his translator) has rendered it intelligible and attractive . . . Exegetes, theologians, historians, and liturgists alike will find the Trinity related to their discipline. Most importantly, The Trinity will prepare its readers to enter higher levels of discussion about the Trinity.&” —Sacra Pagina
Trinity
by Joseph F. GirzoneBestselling author Joseph Girzone returns to the reflections on his personal spirituality typical of Never Alone and A Portrait of Jesus, his most popular books since the original Joshua. With Trinity, Joseph Girzone guides readers to a deeper understanding of this foundational concept, explaining why it is not antiquated theological dogma, but a living expression of the very essence of God. He offers support and clarity to those who already believe in God, and invites those who profess not to believe on a journey to find “an image of a God who is believable, and perhaps, even lovable. ” For centuries, Christians have struggled to understand the nature of God as three persons in one. But with grace similar to that which allowed Saint Patrick to explain the Trinity by using a shamrock, Girzone takes a step back from the most arcane explanations to offer a simple, useful understanding. He begins by showing the ways God was perceived by the ancient Hebrews and reveals how Jesus forever changed that image of God. As he chronicles the growth from the time of Jesus and the early Church, writing about the challenges Christianity faced from both within and without, Girzone elucidates the mysterious ways the Trinity works in the world and especially, in the Church, as an extension of Jesus’ presence in history. Writing with passion and insight, he helps readers understand how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit work within individuals as well, guiding them as they struggle along the pathways of life on Earth.

The Trinity
by Rose PublishingThe Trinity is one of the most basic doctrines in Christianity--and one of the key doctrines that separates Christianity from other religions. This full color ebook on The Trinity explains the Trinity in clear easy-to-understand terms and illustrations. The Trinity gives dozens of Scriptures and background documentation that supports the belief that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all God, not three names for the same Person. This bestseller also answers misunderstandings that cults and other religions may have.The Trinity ebook helps believers know what they believe and why they believe it about this critical Christian doctrine. In 12-panels of rich, well-research information, the ebook addresses topics such as-*What Christians believe about the Trinity*The Trinity and the Bible*Misunderstandings about the Trinity*How early Christians dealt with misunderstandings*The early Church and the Creeds*Important Bible verses and referencesThe ebook provides interesting facts about the history of the Trinity, for example:*More than 60 New Testament Bible passages mention the three Persons together.*Theophilus, sixth bishop of Antioch, Syria, is the first person known to have used the word "Trinity" in his work, Refutation of Autolycus (AD 168). It's probably not surprising that a doctrine that's as critical as the Trinity is at the center of numerous misunderstandings. For instance, God is not, 1+1+1=3; God is 1x1x1=1. The Trinity ebook addresses six of the most common Trinity misunderstandings:*Misunderstanding 1: "The word Trinity does not appear in the Bible; it is a belief made up by 4th century Christians."*Misunderstanding 2: "Christians believe there are three Gods."*Misunderstanding 3: "Jesus is not God."*Misunderstanding 4: "Jesus is a lesser God than the Father."*Misunderstanding 5: "The Father, the Son, and the Spirit are just different titles for Jesus, or three different ways that God has revealed himself."*Misunderstanding 6: "Jesus wasn't really fully God and fully man."The Trinity ebook reveals how early Christians addressed these misunderstandings through some of the earliest statements of faith including:*The Apostles' Creed written in the second century*The Nicene Creed AD 325*Athanasian Creed written c.

The Trinity (Elements in the Problems of God)
by Scott M. WilliamsThe doctrine of the Trinity, proclaimed by Christians through the Nicene-Constantinople creed, is foundational to traditional Christian belief and worship of God. But is this doctrine logically coherent? How can there be three divine persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), each is God, and yet there is only one God? This is a fundamental question for philosophers, but theologians have additional questions. This Element addresses philosophical and theological issues concerning the Trinity: Hermeneutical and Logical problems, Personal Pronouns, Monarchy, Equality, the Greek vs. Latin filioque debate, Real Relations, Unity of Action, Self-Knowledge in the Trinity, and Simplicity. Based on my recent rediscovery of the sixth ecumenical council's (Constantinople III) clarifications of Trinitarian doctrine, this Element introduces Conciliar Trinitarianism and shows how it responds to the issues, including a resolution to the fundamental logical question. It also compares Conciliar Trinitarianism with Miaphysite, neo-Sabellian, Social, and other models of the Trinity.

The Trinity and Ecumenical Church Thought: The Church-Event (Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies)
by William C. Ingle-GillisSome hundred years from inception, the ecumenical movement is stagnating. William C. Ingle-Gillis argues that the problem lies in modern ecumenism’s treatment of denominational Churches as provisional entities requiring reunion to be more fully Christ’s Body. In a work unique both to ecumenical studies and to trinitarian theology, the author redefines ecclesial life from the premise that God’s essence is personhood-in-communion and that the ultimate calling of human persons is to share as fully in the divine life as Christ himself. Concluding that the Churches are, by the Spirit’s action, a tangible, dynamic event, wherein God makes visible his on-going reconciliation of the world to himself, Ingle-Gillis argues that the Churches’ true life lies in coming-together, rather than being-together. This conclusion places ecumenism at the heart of Church life and witness.
Trinity and Reality: An Introduction to the Christian Faith
by Ralph Allan SmithThe Trinity is the heart of the Christian gospel, but Father, Son, and Holy Spirit seldom occupies that position in contemporary discussions of the Christian worldview. This book helps fill the need by unveiling the Trinity at the center of reality. Ralph Smith shows how Trinitarian life shapes covenants, creation, revelation, miracle, kingdom, self, church, and eternity. He compares the Trinity to opposing viewpoints, including secularism and other religions, highlighting the practical implications of Trinitarian and non-Trinitarian views for the individual and society. This book provides basic training for all Christians, especially students, high school and up, who desire to transform the foundations of culture.

The Trinity and Theodicy: The Trinitarian Theology of von Balthasar and the Problem of Evil (Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies)
by Jacob H. FriesenhahnWhy does God permit the great suffering and evil that we see in our world? This basic question of human existence receives a fresh answer in this book as the mystery of evil is explored in the context of the mystery of the Trinity. God's permission of evil and the way in which suffering can lead human persons into the life of the Trinity are discussed in dialogue with the great Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar. In the light of Balthasar's model of the Trinity as divine self-giving love, we gain a profound grasp of the nature of suffering in human life by placing our suffering in the context of the divine life of the Triune God.

The Trinity in a Pluralistic Age: Theological Essays on Culture and Religion
by Kevin J. VanhoozerThis provocative collection of papers from an international array of theologians explores the Christian doctrine of the Trinity in the context of twentieth-century cultural and religious pluralism.

The Trinity in History: Volume Two: Missions, Relations, and Persons (Lonergan Studies #2)
by Robert M. Doran, S.J.The second volume of Robert M. Doran’s magisterial The Trinity in History continues his exploration of the Trinitarian theology of Bernard Lonergan, focusing now on the notions of relations and persons and connecting the systematic proposals with the so-called "Third Quest for the Historical Jesus." Doran not only interprets Lonergan’s major work in Trinitarian theology and Christology but also suggests at least a twofold advance: a new version of the psychological analogy for understanding Trinitarian doctrine and a new starting point for the whole of systematic theology. He links these theological concerns with René Girard’s mimetic theory, proposes a theory of history based in Lonergan’s scale of values, and creates a link between exegetical and historical scholarship and systematic theology.
