YES. I have needed this book most of my Christian life!! I finally got fed up with not really having a clue about how to accurately describe and meditate on the Trinity. (When critics of other cults/religions jokingly ask, "I mean, who do you even pray to? Dear Father - uh, I mean Jesus - uh, I mean Spirit?" I honestly didn't know how to answer them!) Not only did Dr. White succeed in giving me a much better grasp on (and confidence in) this challenging Christian concept, but I think my favoriteLike many of the church's theologians, James White is a smart man. Very smart.In this volume however, he goes a long way to take a topic which scholars have discussed for centures & has put it into the hands (and words!) of the Everyman.This is a great treatment of the doctrine of the Trinity, as taught in scripture. Whether you are a seasoned theologian, a layperson or anything in between, you will be blessed as White leads you to see our triune God as even more awe inspiring, more glorious
Started reading this after an encounter with a Jehovah's Witness who told me Jesus was a created being. In this, Dr. James White walks through Scripture and giving example after example of how the Bible clearly points to a Trinitarian doctrine. So much so is the Bible blatant in this area that I often shook my head at beliefs that deny various aspects of the Trinity and sighed, "How foolish these people must be".Strong Biblical research in an easy to understand manner. Highly recommend.
The best book I have ever read on the Trinity. I found it incredibly difficult to put down and realised towards the middle that I wasn't reading a defence of the trinity, though that is what it is, but I reading a God-honouring devotional. Amazing read.
Phenomenal book! This work serves as a clear, concise, and enriching defence of the Trinity from Scripture, whilst repudiating common misconceptions and mistranslations. This book is heartily recommended to those who confess the doctrine of the Trinity, but are unsure of its precise definition, Scriptural proof texts, or arguments to use against the numerous aberrant cults.Even for anyone who is confident in expressing the historically orthodox view on the Trinity, this work will still do you a
Extremely clear and concise explanation of what "the trinity" means. Covers common misconceptions (including ones I've struggled with) and gives reasons for why having a right, biblical understanding the trinity even matters.You can't go wrong reading this.I read this right after reading "Delighting In The Trinity" by Michael Reeves. It was also good but I'd definitely recommend The Forgotten Trinity higher. White's explanation (as you'd expect) was grounded in historical and biblical textual
I recommend this book to two kinds of people:1. Someone who desires to biblically worship our Triune God in spirit and truth, but, like myself, needs a basic foundational knowledge of the doctrine of the Trinity and where it is seen in Scripture.2. Someone who works closely with Jehovahs Witnesses and/or Mormons and desires to have biblical discussions with them about the Trinity.James R. White does very well at taking the reader along as he develops his argument for each aspect of the doctrine
