About this listen

What if the Trinity we've been taught is not the Trinity of the Bible? In this groundbreaking book, Matthew Barrett reveals a shocking discovery: We have manipulated the Trinity, recreating the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in our own image. We have distorted the biblical, orthodox Trinity to justify our countless social agendas.

With clarity, creativity, and conviction Barrett mines the scriptures as well as the creeds and confessions of the faith to help you rediscover the beauty and simplicity of our Triune God. Barrett introduces you to "The Dream Team", the best of the church fathers, who teach us how to interpret the Bible in a way that avoids past and present trinitarian heresies. You will also be surprised to learn that what you believe about the Trinity has untold consequences for salvation and the Christian life. To truly know God, you must meet the One who is simply Trinity.

When I first understood the reality of the Gospel at 19 while completing my diploma of theology at Ridley, and when my heart first became alive to the beauty of theology and the truth of the doctrines of grace, one of the first books I began to read was Grudem’s Systematic Theology. It was a full glass of theological wonder to a parched soul, and in my zeal I gulped it down, considering it as virtually inerrant. My thankfulness to Grudem for teaching me so much about theology cannot be overstated, but Matthew Barrett’s book provides a helpful warning and reality-check when it comes to Grudem’s Eternal Functional Subordination of the Son. When I first read this in Grudem’s textbook, I nodded and saw his proof-texts as accurate. Reading Barrett, I now understand the danger of this view, and the beauty of the historic Christian understanding of the Trinity. While this book was at times heavily theological, and I lost my way at a few points, overall it has been a blessing. Not only has Barrett provided a historic Christian argument against social Trinitarian ideas, but he has also presented positively a wonderful view of God that should lead the reader to worship and humility.

An incredibly rich, detailed, theologically deep examination of the Trinity

A helpful review and critique of some contemporary revisions and distortions of the Trinity.

Barrett critiques such contemporary concepts of the social Trinity and eternal functional subordination of the Son to the Father. He calls the church to return to the simple Trinity of the classical Creed.
