Impartational Trinitarian Theology

Say that 3 times real fast :) But, that is exactly what Gorman is saying here:

God calls people to a countercultural, communal, participatory experience of the Son (1Cor 1:9) that is brought to fruition by the Spirit (Phil 2:1). Human holiness is participation in divine holiness. Holiness is, therefore, both the property and the activity of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. God not only sets people apart, but also conveys to humans the very character of God. Thus human holiness is not merely a human imperative; it is a divine product, or “fruit” (Gal 5:22).—Inhabiting the Cruciform God, p. 112

I have always held to an impartational holiness; it is nice to see it defended on the basis of trinitarian theology.
