About this book
Through this book I want to make it possible for readers to hear that the Word of God to which Israel's Tradition listens is more powerful than the genius of a human artist. The Tradition regarding the Unity and the Trinity gives more than a torso; it starts out from an unfathomable beginning and goes towards an end that cannot be grasped. I would like the book to give people the possibility of visiting a building site on which work is still in process. The repetitions, the awkwardness of certain expressions, the chaos in certain explanations testify to the building site's reality. Imperfection, incompleteness. The further considerations and the appendices offered at the end of the book indicate my wish to see my possible readers setting out in their turn in their search for God, for the meaning of God's Word, of God's Unity which is Trinity. Pierre Lenhardt nds Pierre Lenhardt nds has given us a wonderful example of an exploration of Jewish tradition and its importance for Christianity in relation to a central tenet of Christian belief. Through a study of this book Christians can reflect upon and deepen their belief in the unity of God and its implications for the mystery of the Trinity. The profound scholarship exhibited by Lenhardt is the fruit of a lifetime's work. It is detailed and scholarly, one may even say difficult, and it is a recognition of the deep roots shared by Judaism and Christianity as well as an acknowledgement of their unique traditions.
