Postscript: The one, the three and the many

This study was substantially complete before the publication of Colin Gunton's Bampton Lectures under the title above, subtitled God, Creation and the Culture of Modernity. It is a volume that touches both on issues that underlie our study and on issues on its surface, and it is appropriate to conclude with some discussion of it. While we shall take note of its thesis as a whole, only selected relevant aspects will come up for critical comment. Some overlap with preceding discussions is unavoidable.
