Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth explanation and defense of the doctrine of the Trinity as held by orthodox Christians, focusing on the concept of three persons and one God. The author contends that a proper understanding of the Trinity is central to Christian understanding of God and a right relationship with him. This book engages with contemporary objections to classic Trinitarian formulations and explores the concept's historical development to provide a timeless and readable defense of orthodox Christian belief. The author argues that the doctrine, while a mystery, is not a contradiction and is supported by both Scripture and reason. A rich and learned defense of orthodox Trinitarianism, this book will prove valuable to theologians, scholars, students, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this central Christian belief.
