The Trinity is one of the most essential doctrines of the Christian faith. 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.

Seeing the Trinity in Scripture Orthodox Christians affirm and worship a triune God. But how should this affect our reading of the Bible? In The Trinity and the Bible, Scott R. Swain asserts that not only does the Bible reveal the Trinity, but the Trinity illuminates our reading of the Bible. Swain reflects on method and applies a Trinitarian framework to three exegetical studies. Explorations of three genres of New Testament literature--Gospel, epistle, and apocalyptic--display the profits of theological interpretation. Through loving attention to the Scriptures, one can understand and marvel at the singular identity and activity of the triune God.

Exploring the essential doctrine of the Trinity, this work delves into the nature of God as one being in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Spirit. It clarifies the biblical foundations and systematic-theological structure of the Trinity, emphasizing its significance in creation, redemption, and divine glory. The author, Scott Swain, highlights the practical implications of this doctrine for contemporary church life, making it a vital resource for understanding and articulating the complexities of Christian faith.
