Summary: A Scholarly Easy Read
Comment: James White's book, The Forgotten Trinity, is one of the first major works on the doctrine of the trinity that should be read. It is not so difficult that one would need extensive knowledge about greek or hebrew in order to follow his arguments; and it is not so simplistic that a child would have any more difficulty than reading Dr. Seuss. This book is for Christians who want to love the doctrine of the trinity and are willing to do the work for it.
I think that Dr. White provides the clearest definition of the trinity in comparison to most of the other works I have read. In my many dialogues with people of other faiths who deny the trinity, it was amazing how much they needed to say to simply define what the doctrine is. This book clearly exposits the doctrine so that anyone who focuses on it and comprehends should have no trouble explaining it in depth within a matter of minutes.
As expected, Dr. White covers the classic texts to demonstrate the deity of the Son, and provides even more. Most useful was his exposition of John, chapter 1. He breaks up the first few passages and gets right into the language of the text, leaving no other interpretations plausible.
Other nice features include the brief look at church history, the debate over the substance of the persons, a look at gnosticism, and a chapter devoted to the Holy Spirit.
Conclusion: If you are just a layperson interested in knowing more about this doctrine, or are a pastor, youth pastor, or apologist in some way, then this book will suit you well. If you reject the doctrine of the trinity, this book will at least give you a clear understanding about what it is and what it is not. White does not deal with all of the texts that may be brought up against the trinity because he is writing to Christians (which he takes will be trinitarian). But he does deal with many of them, such as with the work of Greg Stafford. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Easy 2 read & understand definition & DEFENSE of the Trinity
Comment: James White is a true teacher and scholar. A mark of this is his ability to take complex subjects and make them readable on a layperson's level. The Forgotten Trinity is no exception. Page by page, White defines the Biblical basis for the Trinity, bringing back into focus the MAJOR point of division between Christianity and the cults (Mormons, JW's, UPC, The Way International, Christian Science, etc...)- the nature of God. Dr. White writes on a level that even a beginner could understand, which makes this book an excellent resource for a new believer. This book is not written as an apologetic tool, but moreso to demonstrate what the Trinity IS- which even many Biblical Christians cannot define correctly or misdefine. Highly recommended!

Summary: Concise and Powerful
Comment: When I got this book, I didn't know what to expect. I was quite pleased, though. James White did an excellent job. The book is scholarly and yet it is concise, it doesn't waste any space
I really liked the explanations Mr. White used and I found the book very convincing and helpful. He projected a passion for the triune God that really made the book an enjoyable read.
