The Trinity at its Best
29 May 2000
This is the best book on the Trinity that I've seen. It is not just sound doctrine, it is overwhelmingly pastoral.
Professor Macleod teaches the doctrine of the trinity so simply and so powerfully that the reader cannot but be stirred.
A small, little book. But it is a goldmine!

The Trinity and its Applications
27 Feb 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
A brief yet pithy book regarding the doctrine of the trinity and its application. Not an exhaustive scholarly treatment, but a very good exposition that avoids simplistic explanations.
Good for Sunday School
7 Mar 2012
It's easy for theology wonks to critique this book for not engaging all the thorny issues, but that's not its intention. I have some problems with his conclusions, but this really is a helpful book to give Old Aunt Gladys at church.
He notes how the persons of the Trinity *subsist* in the essence. He's drawing upon Boethius' work and I think that is problematic, but it is a good start, at least. He follows the standard line in apologetics by noting how all the persons are divine, yet there is one God; yet each person is not the other. Etc., etc. Again, this formulation, if taken too seriously, will lead to problems down the road (e.g., relations of opposition stuff); however, it really is a good way to get the conversation going.
Conclusion:
This is probably the best take on the Trinity as it relates to "Sunday School" teaching.
