One God. Three Persons. But how?
? Discover the incredible true story of how Christians came to understand the doctrine of the Trinity ? Understand the Nicene Creed as a beautiful and balanced confession of our faith ? From a dynamic writer and respected professor
Christians believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. One God in three persons. Yet many would be hard-pressed to explain why they believe this, or even where it might be found in Scripture. In engaging, accessible prose, The Story of the Trinity relates the settings, characters, and conflicts that led to the Council of Nicaea and the creation of the Nicene Creed, a simple yet beautiful statement of faith that expresses core Christian beliefs that continue to be affirmed worldwide.
Rather than getting bogged down in dry semantics, Bryan M. Litfin recounts the dynamic story of how the one God revealed himself as triune in both the Old and New Testaments, unfolding this core doctrine of the church so that it not only makes sense, but brings glory to God and expresses the true nature of the gospel.
"Refreshingly unstuffy. It's a glorious gift to get to sit at the feet of a brilliant theological scholar who has the tender heart of a pastor. The Story of the Trinity is that kind of experience."--Lisa Harper, bestselling author, speaker, and host of the Back Porch Theology podcast
"A masterclass in distilling biblical, theological, and historical content into an engaging and enjoyable narrative of cosmic proportions. Skeptics and believers alike will profit from Litfin's charm and sagacity."--Coleman M. Ford, PhD, assistant professor of humanities, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
"Highly recommended. How encouraging to observe such a rigorous study from a well-known evangelical theologian!"--Patrick Henry Reardon, senior editor, Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity
