Summary: Good survey and defense of Trinitarianism
Comment: I've always had a tough time trying to explain the doctrine of the Trinity to people. But Dr. Morey does a solid job of discussing not only the history of the formulation of the doctrine of the Trinity, but he goes into the Old Testament (and even refers to the Hebrew text) and shows how there is evidence of plurality within the Godhead in texts such as Genesis 1:26; 3:2; Genesis 18; Is 9:6; 48:16; 63:9; Zech 2:10-11, and others.

He then moves through the New Testament evidence, and discusses such passages as Matthew 3:16-18; 28:18-20 and passages dealing with the relationship between the Father and the Son.

The book is academic in nature, yet is simply written and very informative. It isn't quite as engaging as his prior work, "Death and the Afterlife," but it is one of the better books on the subject of the Trinity.

Summary: Excellent Book
Comment: Dr. Robert Morey's book, "The Trinity:Evidence and Issues" is by far the most complete and well rounded defense of Trinitarianism that I have read thus far. He examines both the Old and the New Testaments in order to prove the Triune nature of God. In addition to that, he also examines the intertestamental literature to prove that the Jews believed that the Messiah would be divine. He also demonstrates that the early church believed in the multi-personal nature of God. Dr. Morey also refutes arianism and modalism in the last two chapters of the book (though as a former modalsit myself, I wish he would have been more thorough in his refutation of this heresy). This book is a must have for any Christian (as it concerns one of the most important and misunderstood Christian doctrines), and a must read for any anti-Trinitarian. In response to the review by Stefan on this book, Dr. Morey does discuss what Christ meant when He said "My Father is greater than I" in John 14:28. The answer is found in Philippians 2:5-11, where it is shown that Christ was equal with the Father, but subjected Himself to the Father's will and humbled Himself to the point of death. This state of humiliation and self-sacrifice is what Christ meant when He said "My Father is greater than I." For more complete refutations of modalism, I recommend Gregory A. Boyd's "Oneness Pentecostals and the Trinity" and E. Calvin Beisner's "Jesus Only Churches."

Summary: This book is totally amazing!
Comment: This book is totally amazing I can't express it. It's been a huge boost to my faith. The first section on the OT sealed the deal for me, the NT half was also stunning. I pray the Lord blesses the author for his faithfulness and his contribution to Christianity. I would recommend this book to anyone who doubts what the scripture has to say about The Trinity.
