The Trinity: Scripture testimony to the one eternal...

---

The book titled "The Trinity," by Edward Henry Bickersteth was recommended to me as a thorough presentation of Trinitarian theology. What I didn't know at the time was this study was originally published over one-hundred years ago. In essence, this book is both an impressive doctrinal defense of the Triune Godhead, while at the same time an open encouragement to the Unitarians of Bickersteth's era to return to that Trinitarian view of God.
Though the book is dated, the material is not. Bickersteth has amassed and carefully presents an enormous amount of scripture to beautifully reveal the eternal Trinitarian Godhead. As with other books on this subject, he doesn't rely on systematized arguments supported by a few proof texts. Instead, Bickersteth's defense reads more like an open letter to the Unitarians, presenting a comprehensive comparative study of scripture, revealing the divine nature and holiness of God the Father in contrast to the fallen sinfulness of man, and the glorious deity of Christ Jesus from both the OT and NT. Bickersteth follows with comparative studies of the coequal deity of the Father and Jesus Christ by comparing their coequal attributes, majesty, claims, and Divine worship due and given to each one, while also maintaining the individuality of each member. A similar study is included revealing by scripture the Divinely coequal Godhead (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
