Beholding The Triune God
$18.99Add to cartA Concise Guide to the Work of the Trinity and the Doctrine of Inseparable Operations
It’s crucial that believers understand the work of the Trinity in the world and in their everyday lives.
In this concise introduction to the doctrine of inseparable operations, Matthew Emerson and Brandon Smith assert that the three persons of the Trinity are eternally the one God of Scripture and act inseparably in creation, salvation, and all other acts of God. Addressing complex questions-such as What does it mean that the Father is one with the Son, but is not the same person as the Son?-they present a refreshing, biblical view of the one triune God and his unified work in revelation, providence, creation, salvation, mission, communion, sanctification, and judgment.

Trinity In The Book Of Revelation
$35.99Add to cartHow should we read the book of Revelation?
Interpreting Scripture faithfully is a challenge with regard to any text and for any reader of the Bible. But perhaps no text confronts and confuses readers as much as the book of Revelation. With its vivid imagery and rich prophetic language, John’s Apocalypse provokes and stirs our imaginations. Some have viewed it primarily as a first-century anti-imperial document. Others have read it as a book of prophecies or eschatological promises. Still others wonder why it is in the biblical canon at all.
Theologian and biblical scholar Brandon Smith brings clarity to this question by reading the book of Revelation primarily as John’s vision of the triune God. In conversation with early church theologians, including Irenaeus, Origen, Athanasius, and the Cappadocians, as well as modern biblical scholarship, Smith shows how John’s vision can help us worship the one God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture, edited by Daniel J. Treier and Kevin J. Vanhoozer, promotes evangelical contributions to systematic theology, seeking fresh understanding of Christian doctrine through creatively faithful engagement with Scripture in dialogue with church tradition.
