Another quality eBook from Chapel Library. The theme of this Free Grace Broadcaster is The Triune God. Loraine Boettner introduces us to this majestic subject by contemplating the immeasurable height, depth, length, and breadth of the mystery of the Triune God, pointing out that it is the distinctive mark of Christianity. William S. Plumer then gives us a helpful overview of the fundamental issues regarding the Trinity. Following this, Wilhelmus a Brakel takes us significantly deeper into the mystery, explaining the concept of three persons within one essence. Boettner then helps us with two more articles—a readable exposition of the doctrine itself, followed by the controversial subject of order and subordination within the Trinity. A. W. Pink helps us to see that this doctrine is the basis of all New Testament teaching. And in spite of its depth and difficulty, a Brakel tells us what a profitable doctrine the Trinity really is for God’s people. This leads to John Owen’s discussion of communion with each member of the Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Finally, Charles Spurgeon earnestly wants to correct the erroneous idea that Jesus Christ is our Savior to the exclusion of God the Father and God the Holy Ghost. He wants us to understand that the pardon of our sins and the gift of eternal life is thoroughly trinitarian. And he earnestly calls us to believe it.
