"It is clear that wen we think of the Trinity, we should not try to think of three persons in our sense of the term, but three personal disclosures of God that correspond to what he is really like."

No it isn't clear at all! The author just spent several pages describing how the Church Fathers wrestled with the concept of a triune God, and then he sums it up in a nice, neat, incorrect analogy.

Shelley mistakenly includes the Filioque ("and the Son") when quoting the original Nicene creed, and says that this creed "to this day is the standard of orthodoxy in the Roman, Eastern, Anglican, and some other churches."

Considering that this phrase was so fundamental to the East/West Schism, one would think the author would have known better.

". . . a young law student from Asia Minor named Gregory, later nicknamed the Wonder-Worker, because of his unusually successful missionary labors among his own people."

"Nicknamed"? Titles of honor bestowed by the Church are hardly nicknames. And St. Gregory was called Wonderworker because of the many miracles God worked through him, not because he was a good church planter!
