Book Description
Christianity was meant by Jesus to be a living experience of being in the Trinitarian community--of being loved infinitely by the Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, through his Holy Spirit. In the earliest centuries of Christianity, theologians--especially in the East--thought, taught, and believed mystically about the Indwelling Trinity that lived with and transformed Christians into divinized children of God. The East still offers a rich model of participating in God's presence and experiencing the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit. Fr. Maloney approaches this mystery of the Trinity as a dynamic movement of God toward us through His two hands, in the words of St. Irenaeus, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. By drawing insights from Holy Scriptures, the Eastern Fathers, and mystics of all ages, Abiding in the Indwelling Trinity offers an intriguing vision of God as invading Love. +

Book Description
Description: This book, the first serious analysis of the doctrine of the Trinity for many years, presents a defense against the conservative treatment of the Trinity as an impenetrable "mystery," and against the radical position that the doctrine is incoherent and therefore unacceptable. Brown favors "the founding of a new discipline of philosophical theology (or the widening of the horizons of the philosophy of religion) to apply more widely the type of penetration of theology by philosophy" that he exemplifies in his treatment of the Trinity. He argues for belief in an interventionist God (theism rather than deism), and contends that biblical criticism and historical research do not imply the abandonment of Christian belief, since "the historical original" should not be equated with "theological truth." Although historical difficulties must prevent any literal acceptance of the Gospel accounts in toto, "the true Christ" can be disentangled from "the historical Jesus" by philosophical method. Wide-ranging in scope, rigorous and candid in argument, Brown's work will prove of interest to educated Christian laypersons and others beyond the boundaries of professional theology and philosophy of religion. Perhaps most provocative is Brown's assertion that the Resurrection must be accepted as a literally true visionary experience, and that anyone who accepts it must be prepared to take seriously other visionary experiences, for example, visions of the Virgin Mary, even if he rejects them in the end. "It is certainly an astonishing truth that God should be so interested in a being of such vastly inferior powers as man," says the author. "But that clearly must be the implication of the doctrine of the Trinity . . ." To have reached this conclusion by means of philosophical argument is to have taken a major step toward the "complete penetration of theology by philosophy" that Brown calls for. About the Contributor(s): David William Brown FBA is an Anglican priest and theologian who currently serves as Professor of Theology, Aesthetics and Culture in the Institute for Theology, Imagination and the Arts and as Wardlaw Professor at St Mary's College, University of St Andrews.

Book Description
The Trinity is one of the most central doctrines in Christianity, one of the tenets that is completely unique to the Christian faith. This full-color pamphlet explains the Trinity in clear easy-to-understand terms and illustrations. This basic booklet with a simple explanation of the Trinity also answers 6 common misunderstandings about God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It provides a basic study for those wishing to understand their faith and the Trinity. How to Explain the Trinity: The Trinity Defined The Trinity is one of the great mysteries of the Faith. Defining the Trinity is both simple and complex: God is One, yet God exists in 3 Persons—Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is a biblical concept that goes beyond the human understanding. This pamphlet gives a basic explanation and definition of this important Christian belief. The pamphlet includes the following:A clear, easy-to-understand definition of the Trinity doctrine60 Scriptures used to support the belief that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all God, not three names for the same PersonChart comparing the power and attributes of the 3 Persons of the TrinityChart comparing the “Unique” traits of God and JesusChristian Beliefs and Church History Explained The pamphlet helps believers know what they believe and why they believe this critical Christian doctrine. In 12-panels of rich, well-research information, it addresses topics such as:What Christians believe about the Trinity: The Father is God, Jesus Is God, The Holy Spirit is GodThe Trinity and the BibleMisunderstandings about the TrinityHow early Christians dealt with misunderstandings about the TrinityThe Trinity in the early Church and the CreedsImportant Trinitarian Bible verses and referencesChurch History and the Doctrine of the TrinityMore than 60 New Testament Bible passages mention the three Persons of the Trinity together.Theophilus, sixth bishop of Antioch in Syria, is the first person known to have used the word “Trinity” in his work, Refutation of Autolycus (AD 168).More than a half-dozen writers prior to the 4th Century defended the doctrine of the Trinity. (Names and dates are given.)Six Misunderstandings and Misinterpretations about the Trinity It’s probably not surprising that a doctrine that’s as critical as the Trinity is at the center of numerous misunderstandings. The pamphlet addresses six of the most common Trinity misunderstandings. The Christian Creeds and the Trinity The pamphlet shows how early Christians addressed these misunderstandings through some of the earliest statements of faith:The Apostles’ Creed, written in the second centuryThe Nicene Creed, written in 325 ADAthanasian Creed, written c. 400 ADChalcedoian Creed, written in 451 ADOne of the most powerful charts in the pamphlet shows that God and Jesus Christ share 10 key traits that are mentioned in the Old Testament as applying to no-one but God. Another chart shows seven divine attributes shared by Father, Son and Holy Spirit—with Scripture references for each.
