Today there are many books on the market dealing with the doctrine of the Trinity. This is my favorite. It is a clear presentation, discussion, and application of the historic doctrine by people who believe it and have studied it deeply. The essays have kept close to their source, the teaching of the Holy Scriptures. . . . I do not agree with every detail of every essay; they do enter into some controversial areas. But the reader will learn even from that controversy to engage the Scriptures with more thought and devotion.
What a pleasure to commend this book—an exegetical treasure, unpacking the doctrine of the Trinity on the Bible's own terms; a refreshing presentation of the doctrine's vital importance for the Christian and the church; and a rich resource for the preacher.
