{"product_id":"divine-dance","title":"Divine Dance","description":"Invitation to a Dance The Trinity is supposed to be the central, foundational doctrine of our entire Christian belief\nsystem, yet we're often told that we shouldn't attempt to understand it because it is a \"mystery.\" Should we presume to\ntry to breach this mystery? If we could, how would it transform our relationship with God and renew our lives? The word\nTrinity is not found in the New Testament—it wasn't until the third century that early Christian father Tertullian coined\nit—but the idea of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit was present in Jesus' life and teachings and from the very beginning of the\nChristian experience. In the pages of this book, internationally recognized teacher Richard Rohr circles around this most\nparadoxical idea as he explores the nature of God—circling around being an apt metaphor for this mystery we're trying to\napprehend. Early Christians who came to be known as the \"Desert Mothers and Fathers\" applied the Greek verb\nperichoresis to the mystery of the Trinity. The best translation of this odd–sounding word is dancing. Our word\nchoreography comes from the same root. Although these early Christians gave us some highly conceptualized thinking on\nthe life of the Trinity, the best they could say, again and again, was, Whatever is going on in God is a flow—it's like a\ndance. But God is not a dancer—He is the dance itself. That idea might sound novel, but it is about as traditional as you\ncan get. God is the dance itself, and He invites you to be a part of that dance.
