What Is the Trinity?

Crucial Questions #10

by R.C. Sproul

The Trinity is truly a mystery. This doctrine teaches that the God of Christianity is one in His essence but three in His persons--the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Though the word Trinity is not found in the Bible, there is no doubt that the Scriptures teach this triune nature of God. Yet the concept still challenges our finite minds.

In this Crucial Questions booklet, Dr. R. C. Sproul carefully explains the doctrine of the Trinity, stressing that Christians worship one God who manifests Himself in three distinct persons. He shows what the Bible teaches and outlines the chief errors on this doctrine that have afflicted the church. Above all, he affirms that while this truth is difficult to understand, it is not contradictory. Rather, it is a beautiful expression of the biblical teaching on the nature of God.

[Anthony · Rating 3 out of 5]

I did not get a ton out of this book. Some history and views of the trinity and how they relate to Christian creeds where probably the pluses for this book.
For a short almost tract like book I was unclear if the target was new believers like myself, old believers who just need a refresher on the trinity or Unitarians who need convincing. Based on the Unitarians I know, they won't be convinced, but I think being such a short read its worth a read just to keep some basic concepts fresh in your mind (in case you are witnessing to a Muslim or a Unitarian and need to explain the Trinity quickly).

I love R.C. Sproul, for so many reasons. Number one, he's just a pleasure to read. He has a great way with words, and his intelligence oozes up from every page. It's so nice to read a book of substance, instead of just feel-good fluff. Here, he does a wonderful job of presenting basic theological and historical facts of the doctrine of the Trinity.

Un excellent livre qui introduit à la doctrine de la Trinité. Les différents points sont faciles à comprendre, ce qui fait en sorte que tout le monde peut s'approprier aisément les enseignements de ce bouquin.
L'auteur est réputé pour ses qualités d'enseignants, vous pouvez donc être assuré que c'est une valeur sûre!
Ce n'est évidemment pas le type de livre qui vous donnera une profondeur sur le sujet. Mais pour tout ceux qui souhaite s'introduire à la doctrine de la Trinité, c'est un incontournable.

[Ted · Rating 4 out of 5]

While I appreciate the intense philosophical discussion, it tends to either omit steps in his reasoning or quickly simplify them which makes following the book a challenge at times. My philosophy knowledge is admittedly rusty but nevertheless I wish the author would be more methodical and systematic in his advancement of his arguments.

Great intro to the doctrine of the Trinity

This is a great intro to this doctrine. It covers the history of the doctrine and the philosophy and thought behind it. It is simple enough for anyone to follow as well. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because I think he could have expounded in a few different sections a little more (e.g. the section on Christ’s being truly God and truly man).

[Shawn Durham · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is simply what you’d expect from a 100 page “booklet”. It skims the edges of the trinity, from not only a theological point of view, but also a philosophical. It briefly mentions Plato and others. I deeply enjoyed this, not only because it was a great/easy read, but because it was free on iBooks.

In this short book, Sproul brings the church fathers and the creeds to life as they combat the heretics in the early church on the understanding of the Godhead. Based on Scripture as its foundation, Sproul helps the reader try to understand the basis of this great doctrine of the Trinity. Coming from the Oneness pentecostal movement, the oneness view of the Godhead was ingrained in my belief system form early childhood. Rejecting the Trinity, I preached vehemently against it at a young age. It wasn’t until I believed in salvation by grace that I started to really look into who this gracious God was who had saved me really was. I, then, found the beauty of His unity in diversity. I discovered the distinctions that Scripture has when it comes to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, while still giving us the unity of them, never compromising the oneness of God. I really wished I had this book in my teens to undo the cobweb of confusion in my theology of God then. Concise, brief, to the point, this is a great little theological book on who God is.

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

Chapter 1: Monotheism
When we confess our faith in the Trinity, we affirm that God is one in essence and three in person.

Thus, God is one in A and three in B. If we said that He is one in essence and three in essence, that would be a contradiction. If we said He is one in person and three in person, that also would be a contradiction.

God is revealed ti us in the opening chapters of Genesis as the one who is sovereign over all things. So I think that those who hold that the name Elohim hints at polytheism are jumping to an incorrect conclusion.

When we come to the New Testament, we find the church affirming the notion of monotheism, but also declaring that God the Father is divine, God the Son is divine, and God the Holy Spirit is divine.

We have to understand that the distinctions in the Godhead do not refer to His essence; they do not refer to a fragmentation or compartmentalization of the very being of God.

Chapter 2: The Biblical Witness
…in the Christian faith, all diversity finds its ultimate unity in God Himself., and it is significant that even in God’s own being we find both unity and diversity-intact, in Him we find the ultimate ground for unity and diversity. In Him we find one being in three persons.

I believe that the name Elohim is compatible with the doctrine of the Trinity and may be hinting in that direction, but the name itself does not demand that we infer that God is trine in His nature.

…in the creation account that we first encounter the Spirit of God (Gen. 1:2). By bringing something out of nothing, the Spirit meets one of the criteria for deity that are set forth in the New Testament. That is another hint as to the multi personal charter of God early on in the Scriptures.

[On 1 Corinthians 8:1-6]…The new element here is that Paul ascribes deity to Christ. He distinguishes between the Father and the Son, and he notes that all things are “from” the father and “through” Christ, and that we exist “for” the Father and “through” the Son. Clearly, Paul is equating the Father and the Son in terms of Their divinity.

The New Testament also states that the Holy Spirit is divine. We see this, for instance, in Jesus’ triune formula for baptism. By the command of Christ, people are to be baptized in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19)

In these and many other passages in the New Testament, the deity of the Father, the son, and the Holy Spirit is set forth explicitly and implicitly. When considered together with the Bible’s clear teaching as to the oneness of God, the only conclusion is that there is one God in three persons-the doctrine of the Trinity.

Chapter 3: Controversies in the Early Church
The first great heresy that the church had to confront with respect to monarchianism was called “modalist monarchianism” or simply “modalism."

The idea behind modalism was that all three persons of the Trinity are the same person, but that they behave in unique “modes” at different times. Modalists held that God was initially the Creator, then became the Redeemer, then became the Spirit at Pentecost. The divine person who came to earth as the incarnate Jesus was the same person who had created all things. When he retuned to heaven, he took up His role as the Father again, but then returned to earth as the Holy Spirit. As you can see, the idea here was that there is only one God, but that He acts in different modes, or different expressions, from time to time.

A second form of monarchianism was called “dynamic monarchianism” or “adoptionism.” This school of though was also committed to preserving monotheism, but its adherents wanted to give honor and central importance to the person of Christ. Those who propagate this view held that at the time of creation, the first thing that God made was the Logos, after which the Logos created everything else. So the Logos is higher than human beings and even angels. He is the Creator, and He predates all things except God. But He is not eternal, because He himself was created by God, so He is not equal to God.

In time, according to adoptionism, the Logos became incarnate in the person of Jesus. In His human nature, the Logos was one with the Father in terms of carrying out the same mission and working toward the same goals. He was obedient to the Father, and because of His obedience, the Father “adopted” Him. Thus, it is proper to call the Logos the Son of God. However, He became the Son of God dynamically. There was a change. He was not always the Son of God, but His sonship was something He earned.

These views prompted the first of the ecumenical councils, the Council of Nicea, which met in AD 325. This council produced the Council of Nicea, which affirms that Christ is “the only begotten Son of god, begotten of the Fahter before all worlds,” and that He was “begotten, not made.” It further declares that He is “God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God… being of one substance with the Father."

With these affirmations, the church said that scriptural terms such as “firstborn” and “begotten” have to do with Christ’s place of honor, not with His biological origin.

The church declared that Christ is of the same substance, being, and essence as the father. Thus, the idea was put forth that God, though three in persons, is one in essence.

The monophysite heresy taught that Jesus had only one nature… Eutyches’ view was manifestly a denial that Christ had two natures… the monophysite heresy sees Christ as neither God nor man, but as something more than man and less than God. He represents a kind of deified humanity or a humanized deity. So the distinction between humanness and deity was obscured in his thinking.

…The church… had to resist the twin heresy of Nestorianism, named after its founder, Nestorius. Nestorius basically said that one person cannot have two natures; if there are two natures, there must be two persons. Therefore, since Christ had both a divine nature and human nature, He was a divine person and a human person coexisting. This was the opposite of the monophysite distortion. In the Nestorian heresy, the two natures of Christ were not merely distinguished, they were totally separated.

Jesus has two natures, a divine nature and a human natures, and at times He reveals His human side, while at other times He reveals His divine side. We can distinguish the two without separating them. But when the human nature perspires, it is still united to a divine nature that does not perspire.

Well, it is one thing for the divine nature to communicate information to the human nature; however, it is another thing entirely for the divine nature to communicate attributes to the human nature because such a communication would deify the human nature.

This truth of the separation of Christ’s natures was very important at the cross. The human nature died, but the divine nature did not die. Of course, at death, the divine nature was united to a human corpse. The unity was still there, but the change that had taken place was within the human nature, not the divine nature.

[On the Chalcedonian Creed, AD 451]… First, it affirms that Christ is "truly God and truly man” (Vera Deus, vera homo)…

Second, Chalcedon is known, perhaps most famously, for the so called “four negatives.” When the council confessed that there is a perfect unity between the divine and human natures in Christ, it said they are united in such a way as to be “without confusion, without change, without division, without separation.” In other words, the council said that we cannot mix up the two natures of Christ; that was the heresy of the monophysites. Neither can we separate them; that was the error of the Nestorians. No, Jesus’ two natures are perfectly united. We can distinguish them, but we cannot mix or divide them.

As you can see, we have to walk a razor’s edge between confusion and separation if we are to gain a sound understanding of the person of Christ.

Third, the Chalcedonian Creed affirms that the distinction of Jesus’ two natures is "in no way annulled by the union, but rather the characteristics of each natures [are] preserved and [come] together to form one person and subsistence.” In other words, in the incarnation, God does not give up any of His attributes and humanity does not give any of His attributes. When Jesus came to earth, He did not lay aside His divine nature. Neither did He assume a human nature that was anything less than fully human.

Chapter 4: One in Essence, Three in Person
The use of the word “person” to distinguish the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost from one another can be problematic. The early church used the word “person” in a somewhat different manner that it is used today. That’s a common problem with language-it is dynamic. Its nuances change from one generation to the next.

In the Latin language, this word was primarily used in relation to two concepts. First, it could refer to a person’s possessions or estate. Second, it could refer to the dramatic stage presentations of the period. Sometimes actors had multiple roles in a play. Whenever an actor changed his role during the play, he would put on a different mask and assume a different persona.

Each role was a persona and collectively they were personae. So the early church came to see God as one being with three personae: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

…when the church articulated the doctrine of the Trinity, it did not say that God is one in essence and three in existences. Instead, it said three in person.

The word “person” is equivalent to the term “subsistence.” In this word, we have the prefix “sub” with the same root word, “sisto.” so “subsistence” literally means “to stand under.” Thus, this word gets at the idea that while God is one in essence, there are three subsistences, three persons, that stand under the essence. They are part of the essence. All three have the essence of deity.

Nevertheless, we can make a distinction between the three persons of the Trinity, because each member of the godhead has unique attributes. We say that the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, but we don’t say that the Father is the Son, the Son is the Holy Spirit, or the Holy Spirit is the Father.

There are distinctions between them, but the distinctions are not essential, not of the essence. They are really, but they do not disturb the essence of the deity. The distinctions within the Godhead are, if you will, sub-distinctions within the essence of God. He is one essence, three subsistences. That is about as close as we can get to articulating the historic doctrine of the Trinity.

Chapter 5: Objections to the Doctrine
Perhaps the most consistent objection to the doctrine of the Trinity is that it is irrational because it involves a contradiction.

The doctrine of the Trinity teaches that God is one in essence and three in person, so He is one in one sense and three in another sense, and that does not violate the categories of rational thought or the law of non-contradiction. Nevertheless, people continue to charge that the Trinity is irrational.

There are three distinct ideas that we need to understand and differentiate: the paradox, the contradiction, and the mystery. Although these concepts are distinctly different, they are closely related. For this reason, they are often confused.

A paradox… is something that seems contradictory when we first encounter it; however, with further scrutiny, the tension is resolved.

The real tension occurs when we encounter mysteries and contradictions. We use the term “mystery” to refer to things we do not yet understand. We may believe a mystery is true, but we do not understand why it is true. For instance, we know that there is such a thing as gravity, but the essence of gravity remains something of a mystery to us.

It is true that contradictions cannot be understood because they are inherently unintelligible, but not everything that seems to be a contradiction is a contradiction. Some apparent contradictions are mysteries.

The fact that Christ has two natures is certainly a mystery to us. We cannot grasp how a person can have both a divine nature and a human nature. We have no reference point for that in our human experience. Every person we have ever met has had only one nature. When we affirm the dual natures of Christ, we are affirming something that is unique to Him, something that differs from the normal experience of humanity. It’s difficult to even describe.

When we come to the doctrine of the Trinity, we say, based on the revelation of Scripture, that there is a sense in which God is one and another sense in which He is three. We must be careful to point out that whose two senses are not the same. If they were the same, we would be espousing a contradiction unworthy of our faith. But they are different, and so the doctrine of the Trinity is not a contradiction but a mystery, for we cannot fully understand how one God can exist in three persons.

Another objection that frequently is raised against the doctrine of the Trinity is that the Bible, and particularly, the New Testament, never uses the term “Trinity."

But the question we must ask is this: Does the concept that is represented by the word “Trinity” appear in the Bible? All that the word “Trinity” does is capture linguistically the scriptural teaching on the unity of God and the tri-personality of God. Seeing these concepts in Scripture, we search for a word that accurately communicates them. We come up with the idea of “tri-unity,” three in oneness, and so we coin this term “Trinity."

“Trinity” is perfectly good word that accurately states that which the church has believed and confessed historically. We should not hesitate to use it and other such words to set the standards of truth as accurately as possible.

What is the Trinity was a good read that helps shed light on one of the most complex doctrines that is a mystery for our finite minds to fully understand. Even the book said "But they are different, and so the doctrine of the Trinity is not a contrition but a mystery, for we cannot fully understand how one God can exist in three persons." I do wish the book went a bit more in-depth at times, but I get that this was a shorter read and so it was more of an overview, not a deep study.

I enjoyed reading it and learning more about the history of the early church, controversies, and the Chalcedonian Creed.

"Some people think that the doctrine of the Trinity means that Christians believe in three gods. This is the idea of tritheism, which the church has categorically rejected throughout its history."

"When we confess our faith in the Trinity, we affirm that God is one in essence and three in person."

I've always accepted the Trinity for what it was, never questioning what the Bible says about it or how it's been interpreted. This was a fascinating read on the history and controversies of the Trinity. Even though it's a short read, there are lots of good nuggets of information!

This might be a helpful book for those wanting a first encounter with trinitarian theology. RC Sproul is a wonderful writer and presents the material concisely. It is a quick read and so in that sense, it wouldn't hurt as a helpful refresher to more seasoned Christians.

RC does come across rather presumptuous at times in this short book (as he does elsewhere). For instance, he writes, "...I once had a conversation with a man who had a PhD in philosophy, and he objected to Christianity on the grounds that the doctrine of the Trinity represented a manifest contradiction—the idea that one can also be three—at the heart of the Christian faith. Apparently this professor of philosophy was not familiar with the law of non-contradiction."

Really RC? That's the sort of attitude that is entirely destructive. Obviously the man with the PhD in philosophy knows the LNC and a multitude of other more complex things that would only confuse a non-philosopher like RC.

Despite that sort of silliness, this small book would work as a nice gateway to other books. Reeves' "Delighting in the Trinity" might be a helpful next step before moving to more in depth writings.

[Josue · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you're looking for a thorough treatise on the doctrine of the Trinity, look elsewhere. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this little eBook as an excellent—albeit brief—overview of the doctrine of the Trinity.

Sproul does a swell job summarizing some of the key biblical passages from which we gain understanding of the Trinity. He also summarizes some historical background (i.e. Nicene & Chalcedonian Creeds), and provides a great explanation of the meanings of "essence" and "person" and "existence" (all of which are important to better understanding the Trinity). Finally, he concludes by answering some objections.

For a more detailed reading on the doctrine of the Trinity, I recommend James White's The Forgotten Trinity.

[Chris · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting book written in the Christian Apologist style designed to explain the meaning of the Holy Trinity.

The book made some interesting points and, although dry in places, is worth picking up (especially since it is free on the kindle) and reading.

The author does say 'the doctrine of the Trinity is not a contradiction but a mystery, for we cannot fully understand how one God can exist in three persons'

After reading this I thought of the Trade Descriptions Act. The book is called 'What is the Trinity' then asserts that we cannot understand as it is a mystery...

[Fire · Rating 4 out of 5]

What Is The Trinity is an in depth look at the Trinity of God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. This is a great explanation of the relationship of the three in one concept. While I already understood and believed the concept of the Trinity, it was interesting and refreshing to read the explanation that Sproul lays out. It is an easy read, and I enjoyed the in depth look as he explained it.

Sproul writes in very approachable language about the biblical doctrine of the Trinity. His overview of the early church councils (Nicea and Chalcedon) are very helpful and would serve as a great introduction to those councils for anyone who has not read or studied a lot of church history. Very solid, little book about a foundational doctrine of the faith.

Sproul has a way of explaining things that is thorough. In one sense it's helpful. In another sense he's confusing. I'd recommend this book but only if you like details. Sproul also comes across as ungracious towards those with whom he disagrees. That's unhelpful.

Quick read. This is a brief but very succinct book covering the Trinity, what it is and what it isn’t. Sproul defines terms clearly and uses a lot of Greek to get at the root of words. He discusses the Biblical foundations, and also goes through the various heresies that have arisen. I especially liked these two quotes:

“One of the best ways of learning orthodoxy is by learning what is false. In fact, heresy historically has forced the church to be precise, to define its doctrines and differentiate truth from falsehood. The early years of the church produced numerous heresies with regard to the persons of the Godhead, and those errors pushed the church to refine its understanding of the Trinity.”

“Calling the Trinity a contradiction is a misapplication of the law of non-contradiction. There are three distinct ideas that we need to understand and differentiate: the paradox, the contradiction, and the mystery. So, the doctrine of the Trinity is not a contradiction but a mystery, for we cannot fully understand how one God can exist in three persons.”

This is a free book on Amazon/Kindle, and it enriched my understanding of the Trinity.

[Miranda Sanders · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you read the back of the booklet, "What is the Trinity?" accomplishes what it set out to do.
1. explains the doctrine of the Trinity and a case for monotheism
2. shows what the Bible teaches
3. explains errors throughout church history
4. revealing that the doctrine of the Trinity is not a logical contradiction.

It is a "booklet." So it is not meant to exhaust the doctrine of the Trinity, but to merely scratch the surface. That, he most definitely does. This booklet is a good "primer" for the Trinity, church history and philosophy. While he is very informative and helpful in this area, I have heard other apologists explain the concepts of being, essence, existence, subsistences, etc. more clearly/simpler than him (Nabeel Qureshi, Rachel Jankovic, John Piper).
Aside from that, I did enjoy reading this.

I really like RC Sproul. He is a great teacher and has a gift for explaining complicated concepts.

This book is great for what it is... a short, free book on the basics of the Trinity. If you want more information then there are plenty of 300+ page books walking through some of the reasoning RC Sproul briefly mentions in this book. This is an excellent start to better knowledge of the Trinity.

This book was by far the heaviest of the crucial questions. Although I understood what Sproul was saying on each page, I don’t think my mind has digested it all quite yet. He explains that the best way to explain the Trinity is by describing what it is not. He specifically points to the four negatives from the Council of Chalcedon as an example. He advises people to be very careful theologically and lays out some historic heresies, Greek philosophy, and explains the Greek and Latin roots of various words. Classic Sproul.

I hope to re-read this again. It is very, very helpful for one’s understanding of the mystery that is the Trinity.

[Jon Håversen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fin liten bok om treenigheten. Godt skrevet, godt strukturert, bra pedagogisk. Gøy med kjapp gjennomgang av mange historiske heresier. Savnet litt Bibelstoff på hvorfor Ånden er Gud. Jeg slet med kapitlet om innvendingene til treenigheten, det kan hende jeg treffer andre folk enn Sproul gjorde, men jeg får ingen av de innvendingene han tok opp (men en rekke andre). Alt i alt, god bok, anbefales.

Very basic description of what the trinity is, the use of the word in the church and history of it. Also describes common misconceptions. Doesn’t really go into knowing God as a triune God or any practical application of the doctrine, just the doctrine itself and what it is.

Not my favorite of his, but learned a lot of history about the early church and heresies regarding the trinity

[Carrie Daws · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book, much like the entire series, is a great introduction to a complex discussion. The author dives into history, looking first at why this is such an important question. Then he quickly breaks it down with a bit of logic and the Bible. I enjoyed the dive into the historical background and the brief look at the surrounding heresies they addressed as much as the discussion on defining the Trinity more concretely.

Great explanation of the Trinity

I would definitely recommend this work to others. Dr. Sproul was a brilliant teacher and apologist. I will continue to reference this book.
