The Social God and the Relational Creation

Although Lewis’s emphasis on the Incarnation is well known, his emphasis on the doctrine of the Trinity is less well known because it is less concrete, more subtle, and expressed in his creative imagery. The theme of God as “the Great Dance”—borrowed from Gregory of Nazianzus—is communicated through an image of dynamism and movement rather than a static, inert object. To imagine the Trinitarian God as the Great Dance is to say that the inner life of God is social and relational, seeking to draw the rest of creation into that Dance which has been going on in God forever. The idea of the social Trinity is a backdrop for seeing human redemption not so much in juridical and legal terms but in terms of the Self-Giving, Self-Living Life at the heart of reality seeking to live and grow in our lives. How, then, could those who participate in that Life of unending beatitude not experience and reflect joy, love, and peace?
