What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"This book should put to rest forever the allegations that the doctrine of the Trinity is the invention of fourth-century theologians. Beisner's documentation is the most thorough I have seen, and his writing makes difficult concepts clear enough for lay readers, while providing the breadth and depth of treatment often needed by Christian students and scholars. It fills a major gap in contemporary Christian books. "
