Synopsis

The doctrine of the Trinity is widely taught and believed by evangelical Christians, but is rarely fully understood or celebrated. In this accessible and stimulating book, Fred Sanders shows why we ought to embrace the doctrine of the Trinity wholeheartedly and without reserve, as a central concern of evangelical theology. With passion and conviction, Sanders demonstrates that the doctrine of the Trinity is grounded in the gospel itself. He examines the centrality of the Trinity in our salvation and the Trinity’s presence in the reading of the Bible and in prayer. Readers will understand that a robust doctrine of the Trinity has massive implications for their lives. Indeed, recognizing the work of the Trinity in the gospel changes everything, restoring depth to prayer, worship, Bible study, missions, tradition, and our understanding of Christianity's fundamental doctrines.

About this title

Review

'It is one of the great pastoral tragedies today that the wonderful Trinity is shied away from as a dusty doctrine and a heavy burden. At the heart of what we need is a refreshing vision of God - and Sanders gives us just that.' --Michael Reeves, Theological Advisor, UCCF

'Father, Son and Holy Spirit feature in Christian sermons, prayers and songs - but does the doctrine of the Trinity really matter? According to C.S. Lewis 'It matters more than anything'. This book will help you understand why.' --Ian Coffey, Director of Leadership Training, Moorlands College
