Summary: A Little More Than Necessary
Review: This book promised to inspire the reader to desire greater knowledge about God, and at times did so. But the book is rather dull and tedious to read. Mr. Whites arguments are vary indepth and insightful. His use of scripture is excellent and I would recommend this book as a reference. But I would only recommend the first half of the book for casual readers.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great look at the Trinity
Review: This is a very thorough book, with sound theological arguments and excellent scriptural support. To its credit, it is not exhaustive in covering all matters pertaining to the doctrine of the Trinity, but is a great primer and introduction to this doctrine and biblical teaching.

As was stated by another reviewer who did not give a favorable review, the point of this book is NOT to defend the Trinity against all of the confusing and misleading tendencies of scholars that are already decidedly agaist its revelation in scripture, nor try and answer every conceivable question or problem ever discussed. Rather, this author aims to provide a concise and specific demonstration of its strong presence in scripture, and to clarify some difficult passages regarding this doctrine. Attempts to limit and communicate this doctrine as simply being a couple of old guys in a room who needed a story to cover for Jesus being the incarnate God or that it was historically constructed much later and is bereft of biblical support and in opposition to significant portions of the canon of scripture is analysis gone awry.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to the theological student, or reader that has an interest in digging deeper, but recommend its technical nature for those who really want to examine things in a specific and grammatical manner.

What I learned: Passages supporting the doctrine of the Trinity, its presence in scripture, and techical "walk-throughs" of some greek NT passages showing the Trinitarian theology.


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Text Book
Review: This is not just a nice little book about the Trinity; rather, it is a very solid exposition of the doctrine of the Trinity that will help any and all to better understand the One true God. It is a sad reality that many people within the Christian church don't have a clue that this is a vital topic. This is not a peripheral issue that is open to debate. The doctrine of the Trinity establishes the orthodox Godhead, and Dr. White does an exemplary job in explaining this doctrine in an easy-to-understand way for all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Concise and Powerful
Review: When I got this book, I didn't know what to expect. I was quite pleased, though. James White did an excellent job. The book is scholarly and yet it is concise, it doesn't waste any space

I really liked the explanations Mr. White used and I found the book very convincing and helpful. He projected a passion for the triune God that really made the book an enjoyable read.
