Weighty but Worth It.,
By
This review is from: Trinitarian Controversy (Sources of Early Christian Thought) (Paperback)
Brings clear insight to why Christians believe in the doctrine of the Trinity by presenting the primary sources. If you are not accustomed to reading works from the first few centuries this book will be a little difficult to read at first. However, it is well worth the effort. Though these writings are not modern by any stretch of the imagination, they are brilliant and well thought out. Read it today if you want to know why Christians believe in One Triune God.

This review is from: Trinitarian Controversy (Sources of Early Christian Thought) (Paperback)
A very educational book. However, for the novice layman, it needs upgrading. I was disappointed because there is no index to the references mentioned. This is very definitely not for the lay student of casual interest; which should include every Christian. The introduction needs to be re-written for the lay person, to include definitions, footnotes, appendix, bibliography of the writings cited, etc. Too many terms, vocabulary, and references not sourced.

Trinitarian Controversy,

This review is from: Trinitarian Controversy (Sources of Early Christian Thought) (Paperback)
I bought this book for a seminary class on Christology. It was one of 3 books we had to read. The introduction was helpful in understanding the translated sources used in the book. I recommend this for anyone who is interested in an indepth look at the "Trinitarian Controversy"
