The Trinity: An Introduction

The eternal God existing as three distinct persons—Father, Son, and Spirit—can be difficult to comprehend. While Christians often struggle to find the right words to describe this union, the Bible gives clarity concerning the triune God’s being and activity in nature (creation), grace (redemption), and glory (reward). In this concise volume, theologian Scott Swain examines the doctrine of the Trinity, presenting its biblical foundations, systematic-theological structure, and practical relevance for the church today

“This book is easily the best introduction to the doctrine of the Trinity that I know of. Scott Swain shows not just that the Bible teaches the Trinity but how it does so. With lucid brevity he introduces crucial, classical distinctions that help us discern the Bible’s Trinitarian grammar. Reading this book will help you to proclaim and praise the triune God more fluently. I plan to give away many copies to members of my church.” Bobby Jamieson, Senior Pastor, Trinity Baptist Church, Chapel Hill, North Carolina; author, Everything Is Never Enough: Ecclesiastes’ Surprising Path to Resilient Happiness
