Forgotten Trinity, The

The doctrine of the Trinity is perhaps one of the most misunderstood, abused, attacked, or ignored doctrines of Christianity. However, it is also the very heart of the faith once for all delivered. In this book, James White offers a precise and compact primer on what the Trinity means, what it doesn't mean, why we believe Scripture teaches it, and why it matters. With the denial of any of the doctrine's three pillars -- absolute monotheism, the real existence of three separate divine persons, and the full deity of Christ and the Spirit -- there is no Christianity and there is no salvation.

The doctrine of the Trinity has spawned any number of lengthy theological tomes, but I recommend this to anyone who wants a brief, readable, show more convincing introduction to the critical importance of this teaching. A central insight I hadn't fully considered is that the Trinity was revealed not in the Old or New Testaments, but between the testaments in the incarnation of the Son and the coming of the Spirit. By the time the New Testament was written in attestation of Trinitarian truth, the experience of God's self-revelation in Christ and in the Spirit-filled Church had already planted this doctrine deep in the hearts of the first believers. White draws out this insight and many others in clear and precise language, and I can't recommend this book highly enough. show less

Pretty good introduction to the Trinity doctrine for Evangelicals who have always adhered to it but always wondered what all the fuss is about.

Good not only doctrinally but also historically.

this book is great. a well rounded and scripturally grounded approach to our Three in One. I love that he puts verses back in context, gives information with an apologetic tone, and keeps God's glory the main thing.

an excellent book!
