Shared Life - 30th anniversary edition : The Trinity and the Fellowship of God’s People
A 30th anniversary edition of a classic book on the Trinity by one of Britain’s most prominent theologians.
Donald Macleod argues that our understanding of the Trinity matters because ‘it is the model for the way we should live, particularly in our relations with one another.’ The relationship between Father, Son and Spirit is laid out in Scripture, and although fully grasping the concept of this divine mystery will always be beyond us, we can understand it better. It is critically important that we do, for if our understanding of God is wrong, it may lead to other wrong beliefs.
Donald Macleod’s faithful insight into what Scripture has to say about the Godhead is priceless, as relevant now as when it was first published. This 30th anniversary edition has been newly typeset and has a new cover, and will be an invaluable resource to a new generation of readers.

This book is pretty short and a very easy read but has so much valuable information. I’d say I’m moderately educated on the Trinity but this book completely changed my perspective on how we observe the tri-unity of God. It affects how we worship, interact with others, read scripture, etc. This book makes many claims about the Trinity and back all of them up with holy scripture. Macleod makes many arguments for the Trinity by using logic & reason along with scripture. He shows the Trinity in the OT as well as the NT and the implications of it. In the last part of the book he covers refutations to other world religions/cults (Judaism, Islam, Mormons, & JWs) in a very neat and concise manner. I’m so glad I annotated this book as I’ll definitely be looking back on many of his arguments to refresh myself!
