From Nicaea to now: rediscovering how the Triune God shapes faithful ministry in a modern world. In this illuminating collection marking the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, distinguished scholars and ministry practitioners from Duke Divinity School explore how Trinitarian faith continues to transform Christian identity and practice. Moving beyond abstract formulations, this volume demonstrates the enduring power of Nicene confession to shape faithful witness in today's complex landscape. With an introduction from Dean Edgardo Colón-Emeric, this volume brings together biblical interpretation, theological reflection, compelling sermons, and practical wisdom. Contributors reveal how the doctrine of the Trinity provides vital resources for addressing contemporary challenges--from the climate crisis to political division, from church renewal to spiritual formation. The essays examine how Trinitarian theology shapes worship, informs preaching, guides ethical engagement, and empowers mission. Contributors include William Willimon, Jerusha Neal, Luke Powery, and Jung Choi, among others. Their diverse perspectives illuminate how the ancient affirmation of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit remains a living confession with power to transform individuals, communities, and creation. Whether you're a pastor seeking to proclaim Trinitarian faith with clarity, a church leader navigating institutional change, or a believer wanting to deepen your theological understanding, this volume offers both intellectual substance and spiritual nourishment. Trinitarian Matters invites readers to discover how the church's foundational confession of the Triune God continues to inspire faithful ministry and mission in the twenty-first century.

He is passionate about enriching the worship life of current congregations, regardless of style. He believes that careful reflection on the worship of other Christians--whether past or present, whether Protestant, Roman Catholic, or Eastern Orthodox--can serve to enrich the church today. Dr. Ruth is a member of the North American Academy of Liturgy and the Society for Pentecostal Studies. He is also the former president of the Charles Wesley Society. Able to range across the entire breadth of Christian liturgical history, his most recent studies have been on the band-based worship known as contemporary praise and worship. Along this line, he has recently co-authored, with Dr. Lim Swee Hong, A History of Contemporary Praise & Worship and Lovin' On Jesus: A Concise History of Contemporary Worship. He has also edited both popular, Flow: The Ancient Way to Do Contemporary Worship, and academic studies, Essays on the History of Contemporary Praise and Worship, on this worship phenomenon, each of these volumes featuring essays by Duke doctoral students. Dr. Ruth's works exist in Korean, Chinese, Indonesian, and (soon) Ukrainian translations.
