Gregg Allison, Ph.D.: Historical Theology:" Ch.11-Trinity, 243ff.
The doctrine of the Trinity in the Middle
Ages. Largely, advanced the heritage of the ancient church minus some skirmishes—Abelard,
Rosellinus, and Joiachim Fiore. Richard St. Victor: “the most sacred and secret
mystery of the Trinity” as the “supreme article of our faith” (On the Trinity,
4.5, in Pelikan, 3:279). Boethius offered up good commentary in his Holy
Trinity and Aquinas in his Summa Theologica, pt. q.39, art.2. Cranmer
and Luther were traditionalists. In the modern period, Schleiermacher has little-to-no
interest in the Trinity while Barth repatriated the Trinity to systematics (for
his mainline orbit) with an emphasis on the social and immanent, intra-Trinitarian
life.
