The Trinity - Paperback

by Samuel M. Powell (Author)

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 articulated--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. The Wesleyan Theology Series aims to discuss Christian doctrines in easy to understand language that states clearly what Christians believe and why. Each volume is written by an author with a particular expertise who also has the ability to simplify and clarify complex issues. This 12-book series is written specifically for the theologically curious layperson, student, or pastor.
