Christian theology in recent decades has seen an explosion in the number of books published seeking a renewal of Trinitarian ontology. There has also been a proliferation of studies dedicated to the theology of Wisdom. Few if any of these books on the Trinity or on Wisdom have drawn for inspiration on the comprehensive vision of French Oratorian priest Louis Bouyer (1913–2004), one of the greatest theologians of the modern age. Bouyer produced a comprehensive work of theology that integrated these two seminal concerns based on a vast "re-sourcing" of the Christian tradition.

Keith Lemna explores Bouyer's achievement in depth, showing that at the heart of his venture was a deep, contemplative penetration into God's mediation to the world - his creation, sustenance, and redemption of creation in the Wisdom of the Eternal Son. Bouyer is a decisive resource for theologians wanting to develop the Christian understanding of the Trinity and creation based on tradition but in dialogue with modern cosmological thought.

The Trinitarian Wisdom of God gets to the heart of Louis Bouyer's theology of the God-World relationship more deeply than any other has done before. In doing so, Lemna recovers a great theologian at his best.
