| | | Not a whole book, but imo chapter 6 of the first volume of Charles Hodge's Systematic Theology is a good place to start. See also Calvin's Institutes Book I Chapter 13.

| | Best Book On Holy Trinity. Joel Beeke: Quote: |
If you want to appreciate each Person of the Trinity, so that you can say with Samuel Rutherford, “I don’t know which Person of the Trinity I love the most, but this I know, I love each of them, and I need them all,” read John Owen’s Communion with God and Jonathan Edwards on the Trinity.

| | Andrew,
Is the Edwards reference to a particular book or just a generic, "read whatever you can find by Edwards on the subject"?

CT | I can't speak for Dr. Beeke, but Observations Concerning the Scripture Oeconomy of the Trinity and Covenant of Redemption and his "Unpublished Essay on the Trinity" come to mind. |

| | | Keep Rushdoony's "The One and the Many" in the back of your mind as well. It deals with the practical ramifications of Trinitarian thought in philosophy and culture, including politics and science.

I am presently enjoying his book The Foundations of Social Order which looks at the impact of both heretical and orthodox theology and (especially) Christology on society and politics.

| | | Yes, that one deals with the Ecumenical Councils, and is top notch. The soaring heights that Western culture has risen to has nothing to do with White people's IQs, that's for sure!! It's that our world view is more correct than other world views, and the credit goes to the degree that cultures have submitted to God's order, and not anything else at all. | | The Following User Says Thank You to TimV For This Useful Post: | |

| Trinity and Covenant
by David J. Engelsma
Can believers and their children understand more about God’s covenant fellowship with his people with his people if they have a better understanding of the inner, triune life of God in himself? Does the life of Jesus Christ revealed in the Holy Scriptures help? What have Augustine, John Calvin, Karl Barth, Leonardo Boff and others offered on this topic?
Trinity and Covenant: God as Holy Family by Professor David Engelsma answers these questions and more.
In the light of profound insights of Augustine, following the lead of certain theologians in the Reformed tradition, and on the basis of the Holy Scripture, this book conceives the life of God in himself as fundamentally family fellowship. The fellowship of the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit determines the nature of God’s works in the creating and redeeming humanity. The reader of this book will grow in the understanding of God’s covenant fellowship with his people. Reformed Free Publishing Association

| | | Letham's book was good. He outlined the biblical exposition of it in 100 pages. He then did a review of the Councils. The next section tackled theologians on the Trinity. He resisted "easy" answers to tough questions. I can't recommend it highly enough.
