The Trinity: Evidence and Issues
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
This book is the most detailed exegetical work on the Trinity ever written by an evangelical scholar. It begins with a discussion on epistemology and hermeneutics and then proceeds to deal with all the Trinitarian passages found in the Old and New Testaments, the Intertestamental Jewish literature, and early Church writings. Includes refutations of anti-Trinitarian arguments.
Carefully documented scholarship combined with a straightforward and journalistic writing style make this a serious work that can and should be read by every thinking contemporary Christian.

“We now proceed from the pre-existence of Christ to His deity for a very good reason. While the concept of the pre-existence of Christ does not require the deity of Christ, the deity of Christ does require the pre-existence of Christ. If His pre-existence is eternal, then His deity is established.” (Pages 310–311)
“The chief error to avoid is reductionism in which one method is proclaimed as the only valid method.” (Page 4)
“Charles Hodge and B. B. Warfield, committed themselves to the inductive method because they wanted theology to be accepted by the academic world as a legitimate science like math or biology. They did not realize that they had opened the way for such liberal theologians as William Sanday to undermine the inspiration of the Bible.1 By making human experience the Origin of truth instead of the God of the Bible, they had unwittingly made man the judge of God instead of God the judge of man.” (Page 5)
“The only way to know God personally and to know about God intellectually is through God’s self-revelation as given in Holy Scripture. The attempt to define God on any other basis than a careful exegesis of Scripture has always been the mother of heresy.” (Page xii)
“That ‘something’ is what is called in theology the ‘given.’ If the implications or deductions of that ‘given’ are demonstrated to be true, then the ‘given’ must be true as well.” (Page 6)
