fresh, Jun 16 2001
This review is from: The Mind of the Maker (Paperback)
Sayers claims this is not her apology, and it is not, but she deals with many theological concepts in this work. Sayers wonderfully depicts the idea of the Trinity by comparing it to literature. The ideas are fresh, and profound, which makes the book tough to get through at times. The chapter on God being analogical is great and should be read by all. It perfectly captures the idea that God is truly unknowable until we die, which is why so many of us are on a quest to grow closer to him throughout our life.

Helpful analogy of the Trinity, Jun 26 2000
This review is from: The Mind of the Maker (Paperback)
The doctrine of the Trinity may be the hardest doctrine for Christians to grasp. Sayers uses the creative process (Idea, Energy, Power) as an analogy for exploring the Trinity, Incarnation, free will versus sovereignty, etc. Her logic is generally well-thought, though her analogy is limited by the lack of a distinct personality of each part of the creative process. Still, this gem is a deeper exploration of God than most of us will hear elsewhere. Must reading for all.

Excellent! Amazing discussion of the creative process., Aug 3 1999
This review is from: The Mind of the Maker (Paperback)
Sayers' uses the analogy of the creative process to explore the trinity, transcendence vs immanence of God, and other diffucult theological concepts. Her discussion not only enlightens our understanding of God, it has interesting implications for the creative process in general.
