Theologians have developed various proposals about the nature of God¿s single personal being vis-à-vis the reality of triple divine personhood. These often semantic conceptions have to be juxtaposed to the biblical understanding of divine oneness and evaluated for congruence with it. The two most hopeful theses regarding the meaning of the singleness of God comprehend the divine being in terms of nature and relational dynamic. Unfortunately, these fall short in that they do not uphold the scriptural idea of God as a single personal being. Even so, they suggest a theological trajectory that allows for exploration of configurations of ontological or relational independence or dependence. The theory of a mutual ontological dependence within the godhead is the missing key to integrate existing theories of the divine oneness and, more importantly, bring together the scriptural affirmations of God as three and as one in a logical and intelligible manner.'¿Edmond Zi-Kang Chuäs brilliant book, ¿God-ness,¿ ¿God-ity,¿ and God, is worthy of being read not only by fellow Christians but any rational thinker interested in understanding the unique meaning of divinity.'
