This dissertation examines the missing elements in the current debate about the doctrine of the Trinity where it relates to gender roles. Yang provides biblical solutions for evaluating the arguments of this debate, as well as its relevant issues and significance.

The subject is complex and controversial, but we can be thankful for Yang’s clarity and research. Yang recognizes that she has not written the last word on this subject, but . . . I am grateful for this fine study and expect that it will be often cited in future discussions.

Hibbs explores the Trinitarian structure of Kenneth Pike’s language theory from a Reformed perspective and illustrates how language theory and theology are closely related—how various facets of language are analogically linked to relations between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Pike’s system emphasizes threefold distinctions: particle, wave, field; contrast, variation, distribution. . . . Hibbs . . . sets it forth in a rigorous, technical, but very clear way. I have profited much from his formulations. This book will sharpen and encourage our thinking about the Trinity, the Word of God, and the centrality of language in a Christian understanding of the world.
