Embracing the Trinity

Embracing the Trinity

The doctrine of the Trinity is widely taught and believed by evangelicals, but rarely is it fully understood or celebrated. Systematic theologian Fred Sanders, shows why we ought to embrace the doctrine of the Trinity wholeheartedly and without reserve, as a central concern of evangelical theology. Sanders demonstrates, with passion and conviction, that the doctrine of the Trinity is grounded in the gospel itself. Written accessibly, Embracing the Trinity examines the centrality of the Trinity in our salvation and the Trinity’s presence in the reading of the Bible and 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.
Sanders shows us how the Trinity is the essential framework on which our faith is built, the hidden skeleton that gives shape and meaning to the flesh and blood of daily experience. It will be a foundational book used to further bolster present day evangelical’s beliefs that a deep Trinitarian theology is indeed part of their roots and that they wouldn’t be where they are without it and that they are losing much if they neglect it. As the author, Sanders, puts it: “The Trinity isn’t for anything beyond itself, because the Trinity is God. God is God in this way: God’s way of being God is to be Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” Learning and lightness co-exist well offering for the reader a powerful recognition that the work of the Trinity in the gospel changes everything. Refreshing, deep and readable!
