Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of the Trinity is not an optional add-on, nor is it a technical matter for those with specialized training. Pastors and everyday Christians alike should seek to profess the Trinity confidently, whether from the pulpit or in conversation. Written by four pastor-theologians, Proclaiming the Triune God: The Doctrine of the Trinity in the Life of the Church declares that an orthodox doctrine of the Trinity is essential for the life of the whole church, not just for theologians and scholars. Through adapted sermons, the authors demonstrate how pastors can preach this doctrine confidently and accessibly without compromising orthodoxy. The book begins with an introduction that inspires pastors and churchgoers alike to make the Trinity central in the church once again. The adapted sermons then explore various facets of the Trinity in an accessible way, while maintaining theological rigor. Proclaiming the Triune God is an accessible, yet academically rich companion for pastors as they seek to proclaim the Triune God to their flocks. — “This helpful overview of trinitarian theology began as sermons, and while the authors don’t hold back on doctrinal details, they give special attention to why theology matters for the spiritual lives of all believers. I can think of several books that vault up into the doctrine and expertly carry out maneuvers worth applauding, but very few that make sure to stick the landing. High points for this undertaking. —Fred Sanders, professor of theology, Torrey Honors College, Biola University “Proclaiming the Triune God sets forth, with scriptural fidelity, theological clarity, and great beauty, a feast of the sublime truth that we worship one God in three persons. This book takes readers on a deep dive into doctrine but makes it accessible to the person in the pew without sacrificing truth. If you want to know and worship our triune God with greater knowledge, devotion, and love, this is the book to read.” —J. V. Fesko, Harriet Barbour Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi “The entirety of the Christian life can be summed up in this: communion with the triune God and his people. In Proclaiming the Triune God, these two truths are front and center: The only God who saves is the triune God. And it is the greatest delight of God’s people to not just be saved by him but to fellowship with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. I am praying more churches will experience a renewed vision of the God who saves and communes with his people.” —J. T. English, pastor, Storyline Church, Denver, Colorado
