Unpacks the deepest truths of who God is in terms we can understand, helping us not only to describe God more accurately but to know Him, love Him and explain Him to our neighbours better.

Of all the disciplines, the study of theology must be
one of the most wonderful. What could be better than
to meditate on the very nature and character of God?
For the Christian then, the subject of the Trinity is the
very heart of theological enquiry. It is this profound
doctrine, the mystery of the three in one and one in
three, entirely unique to the Christian faith that forms
the basis of this book.
Understanding the Trinity is of particular importance
today when we are often in dialogue with our Muslim
neighbours who see this doctrine as a fundamental
weakness in the Christian faith. Roger Forster unpacks
this dense and controversial subject with creativity and
fresh revelation. Using accessible illustrations and
metaphors, he seeks to put across deep truths simply,
in a way that we can understand without losing the
great wonder of the subject. He consistently draws us
back to the nature and character of God as revealed to
us in the Bible, helping us to weed out the ideas borrowed
from other philosophies that often infect our
thinking about God.
Trinity helpfully traces a simple history of Christian
thinking about the Trinity from the time of the Early
Church until today, noting the impact that different
emphases have had on the day to day life and practice
of the church. Thus we are encouraged to see how
getting our thinking straight is important and relevant
to the way we live out our Christian faith. Theological
enquiry and practical Christian living can never be fully
divorced, and this book challenges us to think deeply
about who God is and allow that revelation to change
us so that we become more like Him.
