Back Cover "Every element of trinitarian doctrine here receives a cogent, biblically grounded presentation" This introduction draws on the breadth of the Christian tradition to present a biblically grounded, globally informed, and conceptually precise account of the doctrine of the Trinity."This book is exactly what we have been needing: an evenhanded introduction to trinitarianism that displays the conceptual foundations, building up the doctrine precept on precept, in proper sequence. By organizing the material conceptually rather than historically, Butner frees himself to call on an exceptionally wide range of witnesses from all eras of theological history and all corners of the theological world. Trinitarian Dogmatics resources contemporary readers with much-needed clarity, breadth, and depth."-- Fred Sanders , Torrey Honors College, Biola University"What an impressive book! I dont think there is another book like this one, and it is high time that the lacuna is rectified. Its scope of topics, breadth of scholarship, and balanced judgments in defense of classical trinitarian doctrine are just extraordinary--and the book is beautifully written, to top it off. Every element of trinitarian doctrine here receives a cogent, biblically grounded presentation. Highly recommended!"-- Matthew Levering , Mundelein Seminary"Butner offers a true dogmatic account of the doctrine of the Trinity that is generous, engaging, and clearly tied to our life and work. He approaches each topic in a fresh way, while remaining grounded within the pro-Nicene tradition. For those new to the doctrine and for those who have studied it for many years, this book is for you."-- Madison Pierce , Trinity Evangelical Divinity School" Trinitarian Dogmatics tackles the many questions surrounding Christian belief in the trinitarian God in a manner that is clear yet rigorous. It is both a good place to start and an original contribution to current discussion on the Trinity."-- Aristotle Papanikolaou , Orthodox Christian Studies Center, Fordham University"Equally astute in his retrieval of Nicene trinitarianism and unwavering in his commitment to scriptural revelation, Butner illuminates the countless ways our trinitarianism is malnourished, desperate for a dose of dogmatics. May this book be the firstfruits of a plentiful harvest to come in the recovery of trinitarian dogmatics."-- Matthew Barrett , Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; author of Simply Trinity Author Biography D. Glenn Butner Jr. (PhD, Marquette University) is assistant professor of theology and Christian ministry at Sterling College in Sterling, Kansas, where he also directs the honors program. He is the author of The Son Who Learned Obedience: A Theological Case against the Eternal Submission of the Son.
