"The Trinity in German Thought is a superb analysis of the theological development of trinitarian theology in German Protestantism from the Reformation through the twentieth century. Powell's thesis is solid. ...Powell clearly demonstrates his thesis with critical insight and a breadth of knowledge that spans three centuries. His arguments are lucidly articulated and carefully nuanced. His grasp of diverse and difficult writers and the historical development of theological ideas is skillful and to be highly commended. Powell's publication is a signifcant contribution to Trinitarian thought, with a critical awareness of theological, philosophical, and historical distinctions." Toronto Journal of Theology

"A book that desperately needed to be written... engaging and stimulating...I highly recommend this book to professors and pastors alike who are interested in the many fascinating dimensions of the doctrine of the Trinity in contemporary debate." Anglican Theological Review Review

"Powell has here presented a detailed and convincing study of the way in which the three key ideas - revelation, selfhood, and history - have influenced German trinitarian thought." Theology Today

"With its breadth and clarity, this work is certainly to be recommended as a survey text for seminarians and others, and its usefulness as a reference work is enhanced by extensive footnotes citing German texts, and also by the inclusion of an extensive bibliography and index." Asbury Theological Journal

"Particularly for students of Leibniz, German idealism in general, and Hegel in particular, this book will be an invaluable source of information about the historical and theological context within which these philosophies need to be interpreted." Philosophy in Review
