The Trinity, Paperback

While we often think of theological doctrines as truths we believe, doctrines are also meant to be practiced. For many Christians, the doctrine of the Trinity feels very mysterious. What is the Trinity? Why is understanding the doctrine of the Trinity important? How does the Trinity influence our worship and daily life?Samuel M. Powell demystifies this foundational doctrine of the church in an accessible style that is easy to follow. The Trinity clarifies the numerous ways in which our Wesleyan worship, doctrines, and biblical interpretation are--when properly understood and articilated--thoroughly Trinitarian. Powell will move readers from understanding to intentional practice as he illuminates the far-reaching existence of the Trinity in every aspect of church life and thought.
