Giving glory to the consubstantial Trinity, an essay on the quintessence of the christian faith
An Essay on the Quintessence of the Christian Faith. There is not a more important and practical doctrine than the Trinity. In our day, however, there are few doctrines that have been more overlooked. This book sees to counteract this trend by offering a clear and concise biblical defense of the Trinity and its practical implications. This book demonstrates how the historical development of this doctrine in the Ante-Nicene and Nicene eras was undertaken not by philosophically-minded academics, but by pastor-theologians who grounded their thought first and foremost in the Scriptures and had a burning concern for the salvation of men and women.

“This wonderful little book opens up for modern readers some of the earliest Christians’ most important discussions about the mystery at the heart of Christian faith—the mystery of the one and three.

Readers will grow in their appreciation of outstanding believers who reflected upon and in the most difficult circumstances bore witness to God’s revelation of himself as three persons, one God, blessed forever.” Crawford Gribben, Professor of Early Modern British History, Queen’s University, Belfast
