What is theology? What is the nature of God? How should we think about the relationships among the persons of the Trinity? In a carefully reasoned style Gerald Bray distills the essence of these questions and introduces readers to a theological understanding of the personal, trinitarian existence of God. Engaging classical and contemporary theology along the way, Bray also leads us into conversation with the Eastern Orthodox tradition, where he finds valuable insights sadly neglected by evangelical theology. Here is a substantial introduction to the nature and subject of God, and a compelling call for evangelicals to renew their commitment to the solid foundation of a truly trinitarian theology.

Excellent Study,
By
This review is from: The Doctrine of God (Contours of Christian Theology) (Paperback)
This book was read as a part of a theology class on the doctrine of the Trinity. Of the texts I read, this was the most concise, informative and readable on the doctrine of God. I read this book first, and throughout the remainder of the study, I wished that the others could have been as well written. I have already recommended it to another inquisitive student.
