Seeing the Trinity in Scripture
Christians affirm and worship a triune God. But how should this affect
our reading of the Bible? In The Trinity and the Bible, Scott R. Swain
asserts that not only does the Bible reveal the Trinity, but the Trinity
illuminates our reading of the Bible. Swain considers proper
interpretive method and applies a Trinitarian framework to three
exegetical studies. Explorations of three genres of New Testament
literature display the profits of theological interpretation:
- Mark 12:35-37
- Galatians 4:4-7
- Revelation 4-5
A final chapter provides seven axioms for trinitian interpretation of
the Bible. Through loving attention to the Scriptures, one can
understand and marvel at the singular identity and activity of the
triune God.
