How can there be three Gods and yet only one God? Many of us have groaned inwardly at a question like that. The doctrine that God is three persons sharing one nature is hard to get our heads round and frankly a bit embarrassing, and we seem to get by without thinking about it too deeply.

Tim Chester's argument is that in reality the Trinity is at the heart of all that Christians believe: the nature of God as Trinity gives shape to Christian truth and to the gospel we proclaim, and properly understood it should fill us with joy rather than awkwardness. Because God is triune, he is not remote and uninvolved. Short, warm, and written for an ordinary reader rather than a seminary class.
