What The Bible Teaches About The Trinity

What the Bible Teaches About The Trinity

Many people struggle to understand the concept of God being both one and three persons, The Trinity especially as the term ‘The Trinity’ does not appear in the Bible. Over the centuries many people have rejected the idea of God the Son and/or God the Holy Spirit and taught something else – a good example being the Jehovah’s Witnesses. This struggle can leave us at a loss of what to say when the Jehovah’s Witnesses come to the door, or even when our children ask what we mean by The Trinity.
Many books have come out over the years on The Trinity, but often are bogged down by heavy theology. Thankfully Stuart Olyott’s book What The Bible Teaches About The Trinity is not like this. Instead we have an easy to read book that takes us through the passages that show that not only the Father but also Jesus and the Holy Spirit are God. This book will give parents some of the answers to their children’s questions and will strengthen the faith of others in the face of the questions raised by others from Dawkins to the Jehovah’s Witnesses. There is though a slight downside, as with many other’s who do not believe the Gifts of the Spirit are for today, Olyott waters down the role of the Holy Spirit to that of a divine bit player who’s role only seems to be bringing people to salvation and then convicting them of sin in their life, gone is the Spirit who empowers Christians as he did in Acts. Olyott is not alone in this, but by doing so what could have been a great book turns into one that is only good.
