Abstract
This article offers a concise summary of the development and contents of the doctrine of social trinitarianism followed by an analysis of its most relevant ideas for contemporary theological discourse. As Social Trinitarianism is not a uniform way of thinking about the Christian God as based on Biblical testimony, legitimate critical concerns have arisen regarding certain tenets of this doctrine. After articulating some of the most important criticisms of social trinitarianism, the article will attempt to offer a version of social trinitarianism or better put, relational trinitarianism, which takes seriously the Christian monotheistic notion of divine simplicity (though understood in a 'weak' sense) while affirming the Cappadocian fathers' emphasis on economic and relational Trinity. The final part of the paper considers the emphases of Social Trinitarianism in light of Martin Luther's doctrine about the Triune God.
