About the book:
It is admitted on all sides that the doctrine of the Trinity is the result of developments that took place mainly in the first three centuries after Christ.
- Have these developments obscured the biblical teaching about God and Jesus Christ?
- How did the recipients of the original Christian message understand the passages which now appear to teach the Trinity?
- Would a first century reader of the early Christian documents have reached the same conclusions about them as did later readers?
- Does the way in which the doctrine of the Trinity was developed give us confidence today that it is really true?
- When Jesus said "I and my Father are one", was he referring to the Trinity?
- Why did someone centuries later feel it necessary to insert a text into the Bible to try to prove the Trinity?
These are just a few of the questions the authors address in the pages of this book. This is a deliberately challenging book. It should be read by everyone who has the interests of Christianity at heart.
