sukeerthy has left a new comment on your post "Introductions":
Hello Mr. Nate Suda,
Greetings.
My name is Sukeerthy and I am doing Master of Theology at SAIACS, Bangalore, Karnataka, India.
In my readings from last couple of months, I found Colin Gunton very interesting and something new. I believe that it is the plan of God that I could come across a blog which has an everyday discussion on Gunton. But, because I do not have much of his books with me, I struggle to know his major theological assessments. In the following I would mention few basic things about him which I understood from his writing that I have with me. So, can you please correct them and also if possible add to them his major theological assessments.
• He is a Trinitarian Thinker. His theology is Trinitarian theology.
• It is not that he describes the doctrine of Trinity, but looks at every part of Christian theology from a Trinitarian perspective.
• The doctrine of Trinity is the foundational truth that leads to every understanding. This also can mean that it is through the doctrine of Trinity that we have to look at and understand the rest of the doctrines of the Bible.
If you can add more of his theological assessments I would be grateful to you. Also would you please give me your email so that I can correspond to you directly. Of course, if my correspondence is worth to put on your blog you can add that in the comments section of your blog. Also, can you direct me for more sources on his theology and his books. The reason is that I am planning to do my M. Th thesis. My probable thesis title would be, “Trinitarian Theology: A Critical Analysis on the theology of Colin Gunton and its Implications to Indian Christian Thinkers/Indian Christian Trinitarian Thinkers.”
Your response is very needed to me. So please, contribute so that I can make my thesis proposal better and learn from Gunton and apply that to our Indian context. The reason is, I find Indian Christian theology more on to Christological perspectives than Trinitarian perspectives. So, I think it is very necessary for Indian theologians to think Trinitarian. By the way, though the words Trinitarian Thinking and Trinitarian Theology are often overlapping, do you think both the terms same or any difference or it is based on our use according to the context.
Thanks for bearing with my questions and looking for your sooner reply.
