Description: "Trinitarian theology sits at the heart of Christian doctrine, yet how many believers understand this foundational truth of the faith? Perhaps more importantly, how many believers understand what is at stake in holding to a biblical understanding of this core tenet of the faith? In this primer on Trinitarian theology, readers are invited to ask forty pertinent questions, including: What is the Trinity? Why is it important for Christians to know the doctrine of the Trinity? What does the Bible teach us about the Trinity? What happened to the Trinity at the cross? How do we apply the doctrine of the Trinity to the Christian life? Ultimately, questions about the Trinity are questions about God. Taking the time to prayerfully explore and answer such questions will lead one to a deeper knowledge of him. In 40 Questions About the Trinity, readers will find helpful and encouraging guidance for this endeavor"-- Provided by publisher.

Review Quotes: "The doctrine of the Trinity may seem confusing and beyond our comprehension. Emerson and Stamps, of course, don't claim to solve the mystery, but they clearly unpack for readers the doctrine of the Trinity so that readers are able to grasp the elements of the doctrine. They demonstrate that the doctrine is grounded in the scriptures and rooted in history. They also explicate the doctrine in systematic categories. Readers will find this book to be accessible, faithful, and one that will lead them to worship our triune God."--Tom Schreiner "James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary" (8/15/2025 12:00:00 AM)
