Reddit mentions of Trinity, The: How Not to Be a Heretic

Ok folks, with heavy heart I really do need to get across New York to catch a 9pm flight out of JFK. I could quite happily have continued for several hours more (the Taylor Swift playlist is still going strong too), and I want to thank you all for creating such a welcoming and stimulating space (and I'm not just referring to this thread). Sorry to all those I either didn't get chance to answer, or (and this probably applies to everyone) answer as fully as the questions deserved. (I do think I gave the Dawkins/duck question a pretty comprehensive answer, mind.)

As you'll have realized by now, I'm not averse to self-promotion (hey, those two daughters need to eat...): and I really do think that some of you will find Faith and Unbelief and The Trinity: How Not to Be a Heretic at least interesting. (Which isn't necessarily to say you'll agree with them, of course.)

And by all means come find me on Twitter: @ssbullivant

Thanks again, and God bless,

Stephen

A great book on the doctrine of the Trinity is Stephen Bullivant's The Trinity: How Not to Be a Heretic. The subtitle is tongue-in-cheek; he wants to address lay Christians who accept the Trinity as part of the faith, but shy away from the mysterious subject for fear of saying something that might be heretical. He lays it out, I think, as clearly as it can be laid out, and explains its Scriptural foundations and some of the history of the development of the doctrine, with fantastic suggestions for further reading. If you're in doubt about whether you can believe the Church's doctrine, I definitely recommend starting with that book.
