Proclaiming the Triune God: The Doctrine of the Trinity in the Life of the Church
Description
The doctrine of the Trinity is not an optional add-on, nor is it a technical matter for those with specialized training. Pastors and everyday Christians alike should seek to profess the Trinity confidently, whether from the pulpit or in conversation.
Written by four pastor-theologians, Proclaiming the Triune God: The Doctrine of the Trinity in the Life of the Church declares that an orthodox doctrine of the Trinity is essential for the life of the whole church, not just for theologians and scholars.
Through adapted sermons, the authors demonstrate how pastors can preach this doctrine confidently and accessibly without compromising orthodoxy. The book begins with an introduction that inspires pastors and churchgoers alike to make the Trinity central in the church once again. The adapted sermons then explore various facets of the Trinity in an accessible way, while maintaining theological rigor.
Proclaiming the Triune God is an accessible, yet academically rich companion for pastors as they seek to proclaim the Triune God to their flocks.
Simply Trinity: The Unmanipulated Father, Son, and Spirit
Description
To truly know God, we must understand God as Trinity. But what if the Trinity we've been taught is not the Trinity of the Bible?
In this groundbreaking book, Matthew Barrett reveals a shocking discovery: we have manipulated the Trinity, re-creating the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in our own image. With clarity and creativity, Barrett mines the Scriptures as well as the creeds and confessions of the faith to help us rediscover the beauty, simplicity, and majesty of our triune God. What we believe about the Trinity also has untold consequences for salvation and the Christian life.
None Greater: The Undomesticated Attributes of God
Description
For too long, Christians have domesticated God, bringing him down to our level as if he is a God who can be tamed. But he is a God who is high and lifted up, the Creator rather than the creature, someone than whom none greater can be conceived. If God is the most perfect, supreme being, infinite and incomprehensible, then certain perfect-making attributes must be true of him. Perfections like aseity, simplicity, immutability, impassibility, and eternity shield God from being crippled by creaturely limitations. At the same time, this all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-wise God accommodates himself, exhibiting perfect holiness, mercy, and love as he makes known who he is and how he will save us.
The attributes of God show us exactly why God is worthy of worship: there is none like him. Join Matthew Barrett as he rediscovers these divine perfections and finds himself surprised by the God he thought he knew.
