The Trinity in the Canon: A Biblical, Theological, Historical, and Practical Proposal

“The Trinity in the Canon is one of the most expansive treatments of the relationship between the Bible and the doctrine of the Trinity that I have seen. Covering everything from hermeneutical methods to the exegetical nuances of particular texts, this accessible and insightful volume will be a valuable resource for church and classroom alike.”

“Brandon Smith is to be commended and congratulated for bringing together such an impressive group of scholars to reflect on the significance of the Trinity in the canon. This superb volume will help provide even greater understanding regarding trinitarian theology among students, church leaders, and scholars alike. Exploring important historical, biblical, canonical, contemporary, and ministerial perspectives, this excellent collection of essays provides illuminating insights for readers at various levels.”

“These fine essays, all by first-rate evangelical scholars, build on the revival of trinitarian theology that began about 100 years ago and continues strong today. A joy to read—and to recommend!”

“This book helpfully represents contemporary ways of supporting a classic conviction—that the doctrine of the Trinity really is taught ‘in’ the Bible—and it can renew the church’s understanding of how vital that conviction is.”

“The Trinity is the fount from which all the other divine mysteries flow—incarnation, redemption, church, sacraments. This present book, composed of essays by various prominent evangelical scholars, provides an admirable exposition of the Trinity as found within the canon of Scripture. This worthy academic endeavor deserves a wide readership, not only among Protestants but also among Catholics.”

“The relation between the doctrine of the Trinity and Holy Scripture is a litmus test for several theological convictions—the unity of Scripture and of God, the ways God reveals himself, and more. This lovely set of essays distills some recent work on these matters, but more important, it attends to the central task of Christian theology: listening to the Word of God. Through original exegesis combined with a humble attentiveness to our location alongside saints past and present, this volume will both edify and instruct readers.”
