Making A Case For The Trinity: Responding To A Jehovah's Witness Pamphlet
Mark Angel
Description
The doctrine of The Trinity has long been recognized by Catholic and Protestant Christians to be a faithful reflection of the biblical data about God, as well as being an essential doctrine of the Christian faith. However, many heretical sects deny this teaching in one way or another. The WatchTower Society and their members, called Jehovah's Witnesses, hold to a form of Arianism which teaches that only God The Father is God. Jesus, on their view, is a mere creature, a mere human prophet, just as human and you and I, but certainly not divine. As for The Holy Spirit, they don't believe that He is a person, but God's active force. But what does The Bible teach? In this book, Evan Minton will give a positive biblical case for the doctrine of The Trinity, show how it's philosophically coherent, held by the early church, and he will respond to the Watchtower's arguments against The Trinity. This book is a point-by-point refutation to their pamphlet "Should You Believe In The Trinity?" which can be read for free in its entirety on JW.org.This is book 2 in the Cerebral Faith Blog Book series.
