Product Description

Many of us find the doctrine of the Trinity - that God is three persons sharing one nature - difficult to get our heads round, and frankly a bit embarrassing. What is more, we seem to get by without it. But in reality the Trinity is at the heart of all we believe. The Trinity gives shape to Christian truth.

The trinity in relationship
This is an extremely clear and well thought through book which make the theology of the trinity accessible and relevant to all. The trinity, something too complex for us to understand, something that we need to have a ready excuse for. Not so. Tim explains the relevance of the three in one god, how our views have been colour by history and tradition, and how we can respond. The trinity in our church, in our relations with others, in our worship.

I thoroughly recommend this book for all those who wish to grow their relationships with the one true god. Those with questions like "why am I going to church?", "how can I reconcile fundemental monotheism (such as Islam) with my belief in a three in one God", "what is a relationship with God".

Thanks Tim, I really needed this!
