Every apologist should own this to get grounded so they can handle the many misunderstandings that exist regarding the trinity doctrine. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars highly relevant *by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2024* I am finding that some do not fully appreciate the doctrine of the Trinity. This little volume will help greatly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I can certainly say with Dr. White, “I love the Trinity!” *by R***0 on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2017* The doctrine of the Trinity has been on the minds of Christians nearly from the time shortly after Jesus Christ ascended into heaven. Throughout Christian history, many have tried to defend the doctrine against various heresies. Dr. White takes a different approach. Dr. White is a well-known apologist who has written on various apologetic subjects. In The Forgotten Trinity: Recovering the Heart of Christian Belief, Dr. White seeks to, “introduce, explain, and make understandable a doctrine that, while at the center of our faith, is often ignored and misunderstood.” (31).Dr. White offers a simple definition of the Trinity which he repeats throughout the book: “Within the one Being that is God, there exists eternally three coequal and coeternal persons, namely, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” White states that this is a very simple definition of the doctrine that all other definitions expand upon.White’s arguments in support of the Trinity rest in three main areas. First, we are to know God has He has revealed himself. White rightly argues that without properly knowing who God is, as He has revealed himself, one worships a false deity. While one does not need to have exhaustive knowledge of God or a perfect understanding of Him, we must, nevertheless, strive to understand God has He shows himself to us. White repeats this argument in every chapter.The second area White focuses on is a defense of the deity of Jesus. White’s engagement with other faiths makes this a logical step (though when the book was published, he was not engaging with Islam as heavily as he is now-unless I am mistaken). White first argues this through numerous passages of Scripture integrating enough Greek to satisfy the intellectual, while keeping the text in the reach of a lay person with little to no Greek training. White examines the “standard” Trinitarian passages (i.e. the prologue of John’s gospel, the “I am” statements, Colossians 1:15-18, and the Carmen Christi of Philippians 2:5-11). He also addresses less common passages such as Hebrews 1:8-12 and John 12:37-41. In these passages, he shows that the New Testament writers address Jesus as Jehovah using passages from the Old Testament.The third area White focuses on is the concept of “person” in discussion of the Trinity over against how it is used in everyday conversation. White expands his definition of the Trinity to discuss nuances of the Trinitarian language of “being” and “person.” This is meant to help the reader defend the right doctrine of the Trinity. White argues that often, Trinitarians are asked to defend a doctrine they do not believe because their opponent does not understand the Trinity. Again, a proper understanding of how God has revealed himself is White’s main point.White briefly discusses the deity and personhood of the Holy Spirit but does not spend as much time discussing this as the deity of Christ or the concept of the person. He also spends some time discussing the formulation of the doctrine throughout Church History which was very enlightening. Those who have not spent much time studying the early Church will benefit from this discussion.White ends his book on a pastoral note. White asks, “why does it matter?” The answer is clear. He argues that it matters because God insists that we worship Him as He is (194). This again, is the main theme that runs throughout the book. White also argues that without the Trinity, there is no Gospel. White writes, “The Gospel is the means by which the Father, in eternal love and mercy, saves men through the redeeming work of the Son, Jesus Christ, and draws them to himself by the power and regenerating work of the Spirit” (195).White begins the work with a line that he hopes jars his reader. He says, “I love the Trinity” (13). His focus in the work is to explain how God has revealed himself in the Bible so that the reader can join him in saying this. I would recommend this book to anyone who seeks to know how God has revealed himself and who wishes to worship Him rightly. I can certainly say with Dr. White, “I love the Trinity!” --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/154406562-the-forgotten-trinity-recovering-the-heart-of-christian-belief](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/154406562-the-forgotten-trinity-recovering-the-heart-of-christian-belief) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
