Books on the Tenets 1: The Trinity
I thought it might be useful, now and again, to post on some book recommendations on the Tenets. So today we start off with some books on the first Tenet: 'The unity of the Godhead and the Trinity of persons therein'.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGXakLqNwTf3sIXZsLs4f8qFb9YA2QmkHgoqm00QTRdsnIuzC9UBNolIBFqjtfE-U8iNJ7qrTY0gQNNJvpaRQVobV2VovDQcrDU365GP3s-CjLGRLD8x0I4K1Ex6QnAUgCQRNVQxlBE2uZ/s200/ware+trinity.jpg)

Scripture, history, theology and worship. This book is somewhat advanced in that it interacts with the major trinitarian theologians throughout history; yet Gerald Bray points out that readers 'will rejoice in [Letham's] clear presentation of the issues involved.' J
.I. Packer says that it's 'far and away the best big textbook on the Trinity'.

This is a big fat book that thoroughly treats the doctrine of God. Wayne Grudem says that it is 'a magnificent treatment that will be a standard work for decades.' Despite it's size, it is quite easy to read. Firmly rooted in Scripture.
