A lot of Christian authors seem to be placing greater emphasis on the subjective and changeable and less on obedience and perseverance in the faith. ![]() I also struggled with the emphasis on feelings and emotions that we should have towards God and our relationship with Him. I understand that these are historical drawings, but surely the second commandment applies here as well. ![]() I could hardly believe it when I saw God the Father depicted in one of the pictures. I didn't like the graphic illustrations of all three members of the Trinity in the book. ![]() That said, I learned a lot about the Trinity some of which I had not considered before or had just accepted from reading other books. His assessment of God and His attributes is interesting but perhaps somewhat skewed in favour of the points he wants to make. I'm not sure that limiting God through this observation is helpful, but it's worth thinking about the idea. With this, the author contrasts Christianity with other faiths. If He was a single entity then there would have been no opportunity for Him to show love and therefore He would have become used to being distant, aloof and selfish. ![]() He focuses on the fact that God (the Father) has been showing love eternally to the other members of the Trinity because He is three in one. The author explains why the doctrine of the Trinity is central to Christian life and practice. ![]()
