Excellent. Highly recommend for a scholarly, brief look at Oneness Pentecostal Theology.

[Tyler Thomas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Norris’ book is dense, as it ought to be. Though reasonably short for a textbook, it offers a comprehensive look at Oneness theology, not only throughout scripture, but in its historical context as well. He treats the reader with respect, including and especially those who may disagree with him.

Ultimately, the draw of this particular text is how much time Norris spends addressing the most frequent arguments and rebuttals, in a very thorough and systematic way. This isn’t a devotional, meant to stir the heart. It is a deep intellectual study. It is the kind of highly academic treatise the Oneness movement can be proud to showcase, on par with any other respected hermeneutical work.

The material presented in this magnificent exegetical precision of the biblical text is stupendous. Dr. David Norris has done a great job in Historical, Christological and Biblical Theology. Doctrinally; He is very sound and thorough in the rich heritage of Christian Faith. This book should be read by all Christians regardless of religious affiliation; it will be educational. Also, he provides a Bibliography of resources and Endnotes etc. for further study. I have this work in book form.

Exceptional and Convincing

I bought this book to better understand Oneness Thought. Norris's book does that in a scholarly, yet eminently readable manner. He clears up a number of misunderstandings I had and makes a very formidable case for the legitimacy of the Oneness position in the process. I was even more impressed with the non-polemical tone of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a biblical, historical, and well reasoned presentation of Oneness Theology.

I honestly wasn't really sure how to rate this. In terms of a scholarly, well-articulated statement of principles of a theology I was more or less wholly unfamiliar with it, it gets five stars. in terms of a position I actually *agree* with, maybe 1.5. I think the author seriously misunderstands the developed doctrine of the Trinity (which isn't surprising, most people do nowadays) and so is tilting at windmills to a significant degree. Nevertheless, there is something of value here and I always like finding seriously thought-through statements even of heretical positions. Take the book for what it is.
