The Trinity in History
by Robert M. Doran SJThe Trinity in History is the first volume in a new series by Robert M. Doran that uses the thought of Bernard Lonergan to develop a unified field structure for systematic work in theology. Building on his successful and thought-provoking Theology and the Dialectics of History and What Is Systematic Theology?, Doran works out a starting point for a contemporary theology of history and proposes a new application of the 'psychological analogy' for understanding the Christian doctrine of the Trinity.Advancing the work of Lonergan, Augustine, and Thomas Aquinas, The Trinity in History also enters into conversation with contemporary philosophical emphases, especially with the mimetic theory of noted anthropological philosopher René Girard. Doran suggests several refinements of Lonergan's notion of functional specialization - developing a perspective for including the data of various religious traditions in theological construction, and establishing this theory's relevance for contemporary interreligious dialogue.
The Trinity in the Book of Revelation: Seeing Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in John's Apocalypse (Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture)
by Brandon D. SmithHow should we read the book of Revelation?Interpreting Scripture faithfully is a challenge with regard to any text and for any reader of the Bible. But perhaps no text confronts and confuses readers as much as the book of Revelation. With its vivid imagery and rich prophetic language, John's Apocalypse provokes and stirs our imaginations. Some have viewed it primarily as a first-century anti-imperial document. Others have read it as a book of prophecies or eschatological promises. Still others wonder why it is in the biblical canon at all.Theologian and biblical scholar Brandon Smith brings clarity to this question by reading the book of Revelation primarily as John's vision of the triune God. In conversation with early church theologians, including Irenaeus, Origen, Athanasius, and the Cappadocians, as well as modern biblical scholarship, Smith shows how John's vision can help us worship the one God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture, edited by Daniel J. Treier and Kevin J. Vanhoozer, promotes evangelical contributions to systematic theology, seeking fresh understanding of Christian doctrine through creatively faithful engagement with Scripture in dialogue with church tradition.
The Trinity in the Stone-Campbell Movement: Recovering the Heart of Christian Faith
by Kelly D. CarterAn assessment of Trinitarian thought in the two-hundred-year-old Stone-Campbell Movement, including suggestions for ways in which the renewal of Trinitarian doctrine can revitalize the church's life and mission.Throughout its history the Stone-Campbell Movement has noticeably neglected Trinitarian doctrine, prohibiting a biblical understanding of God as Trinity from significantly impacting the movement's churches. This book attempts to rectify this weakness in three ways. First, a focus on the Trinitarian positions of Thomas Campbell, Alexander Campbell, and Barton W. Stone sheds new light on the early shapers of the movement.Second, the book lays out specific ways in which the movement would benefit by a biblically grounded Trinitarianism and the contributions of contemporary trinitarian theologians. And third, it presents a plan for the advancement of biblical Trinitarian doctrine among Stone-Campbell churches.Significant contributions of this study include the most thorough examination to date of Trinitarian doctrine in Stone-Campbell thought, an original presentation of the historical theology that stands behind the Trinitarian positions of Thomas Campbell, Alexander Campbell, and Barton W. Stone, and a fresh proposal regarding the roots of Barton Stone's quasi-Arianism.
Trinity Jones: The Queen of The Ghetto A Fictional Poetic Memoir

On the surface she appears to be a confident Queen despite a few wrong turns, but her story lies beneath the surface. No matter how hard she tries, she can’t seem to manifest the dreams that she often plagued by. Her faith in Jesus provides her with wings and guidelines she needs to fly, but will she have the courage to live boldly enough to stop dreaming, and actually take flight?

The Trinity of Sin
by Yusufu TurakiYou cannot kill a tree by cutting off its branches; you need to dig down and cut off its roots.

The Trinity, Practically Speaking
by Frank D. MacchiaThree Gods, or One, or Three-in-One? Since the word Trinity does not appear in the Bible, many people wonder whether the doctrine is anything more than an intellectual puzzle created by theologians. This book takes readers on a guided tour of the logic leading to understanding God as a Trinity. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in the Bible (and in Christian experience) are all vital to the reality of salvation. All three save. This point may not seem to be very significant until seen in the light of the basic premise of the entire Bible, namely, that only God can save (Hosea 13:4). There are benefits involved in understanding God as a communion of persons, a circle of love. God is no longer viewed as a distant judge removed from the sorrows of earthly existence. Salvation can be seen as more than mere forgiveness of sins. It also involves a life-transforming communion of divine love. A robust understanding of the Trinity fosters a more full and transformed Christian life.

Trinity: Truth Or Myth?
by William MaidmanThis book is controversial in character because the author questions the most fundamental of all Christian teachings: whether any of the established churches are worshipping the true God of the Bible? This book should be read by every professing Christian and by those former Christians who have given up their belief in God. The book is a refreshingly new look at an old subject, the doctrine of the Trinity. The book is ambitious to say the least; being intricate in detail, covering a very wide range of evidence, and yet is engaging and easy to understand. This is because the well-researched and wide-ranging scope of evidence is set out under logical headings which makes it easier for the reader to follow and understand the arguments put forward. Whether you accept the author’s conclusions or not, the book is thought provoking to the extent that you will have no choice but to reevaluate your own understanding of who is the true God.
Trinity Without Hierarchy: Reclaiming Nicene Orthodoxy in Evangelical Theology
by Michael F. Bird Scott HarrowerA defense of equality among the persons of the TrinityIn response to those complementarian theologians who assert that the Son is eternally subordinate to the Father, the contributors to Trinity Without Hierarchy contend that this view misconstrues the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity and reduces the Son to a lower level of glory and majesty than the Father. Surveying Scripture, church history, and theology, sixteen contributors present a defense of the full and equal authority of all three members of the Trinity while critiquing approaches that border on semi-Arianism. In particular, the creedal confessions of Nicaea are upheld as the historical standard by which any proposed Trinitarian doctrine should be judged.While some contributors hold complementarian and others egalitarian viewpoints, all agree that Trinitarian relations are not a proper basis for understanding gender roles. Trinity Without Hierarchy is indispensable reading for anyone interested in the current debate over the relationship between Trinitarian theology and the roles of men and women.
Trinity Worship: Becoming Like Christ In How We Relate, How We Do Things, How We Organize, How We Learn, And How We Lead.
by Dave YaukEndorsement from Charlie Hall: In this day and time, we need a loud grace-filled call back to Biblical wisdom around worship as a fully orbed experience of God as Trinity. The people of God need the Father’s heart, the work of Jesus, and the experience of the Holy Spirit. Trinity worship is that call to the Church.The Trinity is not just an "I" but a "We." We, to the contrary, live in a modern age overwhelmed with personalized worship and discipleship methods. People roam about desperately trying to build their own fame and kingdoms all the while bearing the fruit of anxiety, stress, and burden. Deep within we know we are meant to point to something outside and greater than ourselves, but our attempts to give allegiance to lesser loves and benign kings sitting high on imaginary thrones have left us empty. Trinity Worship sheds light on the perfection we're searching for. The word that best describes the pursuit of what is ultimate is worship. Worship goes beyond just singing. It's a world word. It's an everything word. Who or what we honor as an authority, ruler, and as worthy of our trust, will determine how we handle all matters pertaining to home, work, and play. This book ponders deeply the creativity, family, and friendly nature of God and his kingdom in order to best describe how we as humans are to fully enjoy our existence. The Trinity has a way he relates, a way he does things, a way he teachers and desires us to learn, an order for life, and a clear mission. By trusting in him, pointing to him, bowing to his reign, and following after his nature as we carry his image, we will bear the fruit of life, joy, and peace.
