Summary: Lives up to Swinburne's standards
Comment: This book offers a very interesting conception of both the Trinity and the Incarnation. It is written primarily to be accessible to the specialist and those with considerable background in philosophy, so the lay reader probably will not enjoy the book - or even get anything out of it.
The first section of the book is spent outlining different issues in metaphysics dealing with substances, thisness, causation, time, and necessity. The second section applies the conclusions from the first section to the doctrines of the Divine Nature, the Trinity and the Incarnation.
Swinburne attempts an orthodox understanding of Chalcedon. I think he does admirably in his attempt. Swinburne is an open theist in his views on foreknowledge, so I disagreed with his stance there. His argument was not persuasive there at all, but that's not the full subject of the book, so I don't hold that against him here.
I recomend the read for anyone with some background in philosophy who is interested in modern conceptions of these two very difficult concepts within orthodox Christianity.
