Teacher's Guide to Understanding the Trinity - Paperback

by Samuel M. Powell (Author)

Why is the doctrine of the Trinity important? Is it just one more thing to memorize and forget about later, or is it something much more?This concise, in-depth book explores this seemingly elusive doctrine, its history, and its meaning to the life of faith. With exceptional insight and scholarly precision, Samuel Powell brings this doctrine into sharp focus and demonstrates that more than an ancient relic of the church, the doctrine of the Trinity is woven into the fabric of almost everything Christians believe. At the very nexus of salvation, the Trinity is a stirring and poignant model for love and relationship within community.
