A Trinitarian Theology of History

Ross McCullough

Abstract

Ross McCullough explores how Christians inhabit time and history through the lens of the paschal mystery, extending the day-week-year cycles to a Trinitarian and Christocentric framework of salvation history. Drawing on typological, fractal, and fugal models, McCullough outlines sevenfold and fourfold structures of history rooted in Scripture and tradition. McCullough emphasizes both exemplarity and teleology, acknowledges interpretive pluralism, and argues for a numerologically patterned, aesthetically rich understanding of history that fosters wonder, situating contemporary experience within a larger divine order.
