The doctrine of the Trinity has gained considerable attention in recent years. These select essays, brought together from the 2008 Wheaton College Theology Conference by editors Daniel J. Treier and David Lauber, show both the substance and the importance of the doctrine for our worship, our reading of Scripture and the mission of the church. This collection provides a helpful orientation to the significance of the trinitarian nature of Christian faith for students and pastors.

REVIEWS

"The book as a whole provides a useful account of the ways in which trinitarian theology informs various aspects of Christian faith and practice, especially when viewed from an Evangelical perspective."

Mark Weedman, Biblical Theology Bulletin,

"This collection is stimulating and of unusually high quality, and the book deserves to be read and pondered by all who have a serious interest on its subject."

Gerald Bray, Churchman, Summer 2010

"This volume represents a significant contribution to contemporary discussions surrounding the doctrine of the trinity and it evangelical appropriations of that conversation, especially in relation to the doctrine of Scripture. It will be of interest to those conducting research in related fields, as well as to a broad spectrum of evangelical scholars, pastors, and laypersons."

W. Travis McMaken, Koinonia
