About the book

Reeves begins from a simple but decisive question: what kind of God is the Christian God? His answer is that, being triune, God is eternally a community of love between the Father, the Son, and the Spirit — and that this changes everything we believe about creation, salvation, and the Christian life.

Written in a warm, accessible style, the book aims to show that the Trinity is not a mathematical puzzle reserved for theologians, but the joyful foundation of the Christian faith.

Reviews

If you have ever felt that the doctrine of the Trinity was a liability, a burden to be borne patiently, this is the book that will change your perspective... Reeves writes from a full heart, with contagious enthusiasm for the Trinity.

Fred Sanders
Biola University

It's not often one reads a book on trinitarian theology that is deeply insightful and wonderfully witty at the same time, but this is such a volume.

Kelly M. Kapic
Covenant College

This is a great little book. Where it makes a distinctive contribution is in the focus on the Trinity as key to undergirding and outlining the gospel.
