This book presents a bold venture in theology, combining a presentation, explanation, analysis, and reinterpretation of trinitarian language. Rejecting the assumption that traditional trinitarian discourse is useless in an age of cults and sects, Jenson points to a profound and provocative renewal of trinitarian piety and reflection understood as a remedy for spiritual desolation and powerlessness. Proceeding on the premise that any radical analysis of the formula ""Father, Son, and Holy Spirit"" must work from biblical statements, Jenson investigates the significance of two biblical identifications of God: ""God is whoever freed us from Egypt"" and ""God is whoever raised Jesus from the dead"". In opposition to the notion that God is to be understood simply as timeless being, Jenson shows how the memory of God's acts and the presence of God in Christ leads to a hope for the future based on the promise of the spirit.

This is something of an exploratory work by one of American Lutheranism's best-known scholars, attempting to find a course to an ecumenical understanding of doctrine. In the first volume, Jenson examined the question of the identity of God, and resolved it in terms of God as being identified in terms of what He has done, with the two chief events being the Exodus and Resurrection, and in terms of the relationship between the persons of the Trinity.
In this second volume, he gets into other, more specific doctrines, including creation, the nature of man as creature, the Church, the Sacraments, and other subjects.
By and large, it is a magnificent work, refuting a number of curiosities that have slipped into theology in the last generation or two. Occasionally, as in his examination of what Jesus meant in His institution of the Lord's Supper when He said, "Do this," he stands on shakier ground, claiming that it is the prayer which He uttered before giving the disciples the bread and the cup which He was telling them to do.
Overall, it is well worth reading. It is the text in an STM-level course at the Institute of Lutheran Theology. If one were to classify where Jenson stands theologically, he probably fits best into the category of "neo-orthodox". That is, he rejects most of the contentions of liberal theology while retaining much of their theological method; this is reflected in his frequent references to the work of the foremost neo-orthodox theologian of the last century, Karl Barth.
