In The Triune God, A Video Study, theologian Fred Sanders offers
thoughtful, concise, and understandable lessons that explore the
biblical, creedal, and confessional shape of the doctrine of the
Trinity.
In particular, Sanders secures knowledge of the triune God in rightly
ordered theological language. He presents conclusions about the Trinity
based on the way the Trinity was revealed in Scripture. As such, this
study offers theological principles for reading Scripture in a
thoroughly Trinitarian manner. In contrast to other explorations of the
Trinity that rush over the biblical discussion on the way to extended
accounts of historical development, Sanders spends a significant amount
of time on biblical exposition and drawing the theological implications
from it.
Throughout Sanders interacts with major voices from the history of the
doctrine. His arguments are indebted to and informed by the great
tradition of Trinitarianism. A healthy deference to doctrinal tradition
is indispensable to serious theology, and this study is an exercise in
retrieval. But the fitting way to retrieve the insights of the church
fathers is not to pay more attention to them than to Scripture. The most
patristic way to proceed toward a well-ordered doctrine of the Trinity
is, after all, to study Scripture.
The Triune God, A Video Study is part of The Zondervan Beyond the
Basics Video Series, which is dedicated to bringing expert teaching from
world's best theologians and biblical scholars directly to interested
leaders. The Triune God, A Video Study offers the chance to learn
about one of the central tenets of the Christian faith from one of
today's premier theologians.
