Making A Case For The Trinity: Responding To A Jehovah's Witness Pamphlet

by Evan Minton

The doctrine of The Trinity has long been recognized by Catholic and Protestant Christians to be a faithful reflection of the biblical data about God, as well as being an essential doctrine of the Christian faith. However, many heretical sects deny this teaching in one way or another. The WatchTower Society and their members, called Jehovah's Witnesses, hold to a form of Arianism which teaches that only God The Father is God. Jesus, on their view, is a mere creature, a mere human prophet, just as human and you and I, but certainly not divine. As for The Holy Spirit, they don't believe that He is a person, but God's active force. But what does The Bible teach? In this book, Evan Minton will give a positive biblical case for the doctrine of The Trinity, show how it's philosophically coherent, held by the early church, and he will respond to the Watchtower's arguments against The Trinity. This book is a point-by-point refutation to their pamphlet "Should You Believe In The Trinity?" which can be read for free in its entirety on JW.org.

About the author

Evan Minton is a Christian Apologist and is the writer of the blog Cerebral Faith (www.cerebralfaith.blogspot.com). He has been rigorously studying various theological issues for over nearly a decade. He has engaged in several debates, which can be viewed on Cerebral Faith's "My Debates" section or on YouTube. Mr. Minton has been vigorously defending the faith against attacks from skeptics since 2011.

Mr. Minton's theological beliefs haven't been static for the nearly 8 years he has been a Christian, but the core doctrines of Orthodox Christianity, he always has and still does affirm, such as: The existence of God, God as Creator of all things, the incarnation of Jesus, the deity and humanity of Jesus, The Trinity, Jesus' death on the cross to atone for mankind's sins, and His subsequent resurrection from the dead.

Among the issues that are considered in-house debates within the sphere of orthodox Christianity, Evan affirms Arminian soteriology, Molinism, Partial Preterism (a view of the end times), and Evolutionary Creationism.

Minton always strives in his blog posts and books to write in a way that is understandable to people of all education levels, as he considers himself "An apologist to the average Joe". So he is always thrilled when he hears feedback of how accessible his writing on some deeply complex, philosophical or theological subject was.
