Free Christian E-Book: The Mystery of the Trinity

This book is a work by New Testament Scholar Vern Poythress who teaches at Westminster Theological Seminary.  It is titled “Mystery and the Trinity” with the subtitle “A Trinitarian Approach to the Attributes of God.”

While Poythress official teaching position is New Testament professor I have found him to be skilled in multiple discipline ranging from linguistics, philosophy of science, apologetics and biblical theology.

Here’s a description of the book:

Classical Christian theism describes God as absolute, infinite, immense, eternal, immutable, omniscient, and simple. These terms for God’s attributes are useful because they summarize what God reveals to us about himself in the Bible. More fundamentally, however, God reveals himself through language that reflects his triune nature. We can thus enhance our understanding of God’s attributes by applying to them the doctrine of the Trinity. The Trinity also supplies a foundation for grasping God’s relation to action in the world and our knowledge of him. Any framework of reason other than the Trinity as revealed in God’s Word leads to a corrupted and diminished understanding of God. By his Word, in Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit, he gives us knowledge that is trustworthy and true.

This work is interesting for those interested in Presuppositional apologetics, Trinitarian theology and the foundation of human knowledge based upon one’s theology of God.
