This was my textbook in a seminary course on Doctrine of the Trinity. I have never seen such a clear point by point proof of the Doctrine of the Trinity. Bickersteth was writing about a hundred years ago in response to Unitarian opposition to the doctrine in England. Just Bickersteth's writing style makes this book a joy to read. He goes overboard in with politeness in dealing with a sensitive issue addressing his opponents with genuine love and concern in his words. He very adequately proves that the doctrine is a biblical doctrine. After reading this book with an open mind and an honest heart, the only way to get around accepting that the bible teaches the Doctrine of the Trinity is to refuse to accept what is written as authoritative. Many other excellent books deal with the subject of Textual Criticism. If after reading Bickersteth's book you still oppose the Doctrine of the Trinity, read some books on Textual Criticism. It's amazing how much evidence there is to support being able to trust the accuracy of the biblical texts. At there very least, if this book doesn't change your mind you'll have no doubts whatsoever about why adherents to the doctrine believe what they do.

Reads like a formal study on the Trinity with tons of biblical references and footnotes. Not an easy read, but a good source.

I found the book to be a little difficult to digest.

I had a lot of questions about the Godhead. The Lord used this book to answer everyone of them.
