Theology still needs to come to terms with the implications of the Darwinian revolution. Navigating between the extremes of creationism and naturalism, theology is challenged to articulate a course that recognises both the advances of science and the convictions of theology. This paper investigates specifically which notions of transcendence could do justice to both these sensibilities. It highlights the inadequacies of classical theism. As a number of theologians value a constructive dialogue between faith and science, this paper explores the possibilities of a thorough trinitarian approach to God in order to meet the challenges of a post-Darwinian era. Central to the argument is the revisioning of divine agency - which may represent science’s greatest challenge to theology - along trinitarian lines.Published
