Product Description

"No doctrine is more fundamental to the Faith than the Trinity. And there is no more brief, clear, biblical, and practical explanation of the Trinity than on these pages."
Dr. Norman L. Geisler
Dean of Southern Evangelical Seminary

"James White has a remarkable ability to say important and complex things in readable ways. He has done it again in The Forgotten Trinity, a vital look at a doctrine `forgotten' in evangelical churches."
Dr. John H. Armstrong
President of Reformation & Revival Ministries, Inc.

"White's clear argument demonstrates that the historic Christian doctrine of the Trinity is fully and inescapably biblical. The refutation of Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons is very helpful."
Dr. J. I Packer
Professor, Recent College

"Dr. James White is to be congratulated for his thorough and meticulous refutation of the teachings of the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses."
Dr. Glean L. Archer
Retired Professor of Old Testament & Biblical Languages
Trinity International University

"My church is entering the new millennium with a three year focus on the Blessed Trinity. Dr. White highlights a vital truth: the Mystery of the Trinity is truly related to how we love God. Our faith in the Trinity is the same: one God, three coequal persons."
Fr. Mitchell Pacwa, S. J.
Assistant Professor, University of Dallas

"The Forgotten Trinity" maps a well-lit route toward an intimate relating to the Trinity. The book steers readers away from Trinity as an abstract notion and intelligently chauffeurs us to the book's destination, which is worship: "Holy, Holy, Holy!-God in three persons, blessed Trinity!"
Kerry D. McRoberts
Senior Pastor, Kings Circle Assembly of God Church
Author, The Holy Trinity, Systematic Theology

"The Trinity is a doctrine where error is especially deadly. James White superbly establishes the biblical basis of trinitarianism, examining its nuances and its place in church history. His lucid presentation will help layperson and pastor alike. Highly recommended."
Dr. John MacArthur
Senior Pastor, Grace Community Church
Speaker, Grace to You

Customer Reviews

Great look at the Trinity
This is a very thorough book, with sound theological arguments and excellent scriptural support. To its credit, it is not exhaustive in covering all matters pertaining to the doctrine of the Trinity, but is a great primer and introduction to this doctrine and biblical teaching.

As was stated by another reviewer who did not give a favorable review, the point of this book is NOT to defend the Trinity against all of the confusing and misleading tendencies of scholars that are already decidedly agaist its revelation in scripture, nor try and answer every conceivable question or problem ever discussed. Rather, this author aims to provide a concise and specific demonstration of its strong presence in scripture, and to clarify some difficult passages regarding this doctrine. Attempts to limit and communicate this doctrine as simply being a couple of old guys in a room who needed a story to cover for Jesus being the incarnate God or that it was historically constructed much later and is bereft of biblical support and in opposition to significant portions of the canon of scripture is analysis gone awry.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to the theological student, or reader that has an interest in digging deeper, but recommend its technical nature for those who really want to examine things in a specific and grammatical manner.

What I learned: Passages supporting the doctrine of the Trinity, its presence in scripture, and techical "walk-throughs" of some greek NT passages showing the Trinitarian theology.

Excellent Text Book
This is not just a nice little book about the Trinity; rather, it is a very solid exposition of the doctrine of the Trinity that will help any and all to better understand the One true God. It is a sad reality that many people within the Christian church don't have a clue that this is a vital topic. This is not a peripheral issue that is open to debate. The doctrine of the Trinity establishes the orthodox Godhead, and Dr. White does an exemplary job in explaining this doctrine in an easy-to-understand way for all.

Excellent treatment of a bedrock doctrinal truth
The Forgotten Trinity is an excellent treatment of a bedrock doctrinal truth. It is simple and direct and easy to understand. White furnishes his readers with three basic biblical truths which formulate and safeguard the doctrine of the trinity - 1. There is one God, 2. There are three Persons in the Godhead, and 3. The three persons are equal. These points are established and defended from exegesis of Scripture. Several key texts are looked at indepth including the prologue of John and Phil. 2:5-11. Much attention is given to establishing the Deity of Jesus Christ. This is an excellent book for refuting the heretical doctrines of the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. White sticks to the basics about the doctrine of the Trinity and avoids the more metaphysical speculative aspects of the subject. Excellent for those wanting a basic overview of this important truth!
