Trinity: Song and Dance God

by Roger Forster

Understanding the Trinity is of particular importance today when we are often in dialogue with our Muslim neighbors who see this doctrine as a fundamental weakness in the Christian faith. Forster unpacks this dense and controversial subject with creativity and fresh revelation. Using accessible illustrations and metaphors, he seeks to put across deep truths simply, in a way that we can understand without losing the great wonder of the subject.

So Roger Forster is a pretty clever guy.

I struggle with rating and reviewing these sort of books. With a fiction book a rating is a combination of my thoughts on form and content - is it well written, are the characters good, is the story interesting and then you can go into what you think of themes and ideas communicated in them.

Most people's reviews of teaching books are largely focussed on content - do I agree with the ideas presented in here? Is the research done sufficiently rigorous? How one answers these questions often determines how "safe" it is to recommend the book.

I'm not really fussed about whether a book is "safe" to recommend, but rather if it will provoke the reader to think. And then if it's written well, with a good structure.

Roger Forster reads often like academia-lite, with more academia and less lite. So if this is the sort of topic you've engaged with before and are familiar with this intellectual playing field it really is a very good read.

Really enjoyed this book, crazy how the influence of Greek thinking about God has influenced and contorted our understanding about God.

Good viewon recovering the Trinity. Very biblical in what it teaches and answers objections made by other groups. Very good at helping us get a grasp on the doctrine. Weakness comes in @ pratical application of the doctrine.
