'God and His Word and His Spirit Are One God' section by Beau Branson was -so far- the most difficult to comprehend fully, but it had really strong arguments and was very convincing in favour of Monarchical Trinitarianism.

"There is just no prima facie logical incoherence in the biblical doctrine of the Trinity.
As for the metaphysical coherence of the biblical doctrine,... a disarmingly simple model of the biblical doctrine may be stated as follows: God is an immaterial, tri-personal being. That’s it! No metaphysical mumbo-jumbo, no exotic stand-ins for the classical identity relation, no time-travelling fancy foot-stepping!" WLC

It seems the Table of Contents brings this out a bit for those who know the theological terms, but the cover and back do not highlight it: Dale Tuggy (1 of the 4 authors) is a non-Christian: part of a pseudo-Christian cult called Socinianism.

I know about Tuggy and his famous podcast promoting his views against the Trinity and that he identifies as a Unitarian.
This is how he presents himself on his website: "I'm Dale Tuggy, analytic theologian, philosopher of religion, podcaster, and the author of What is the Trinity?. Since 2019 I've served as the Chair of the Board of the Unitarian Christian Alliance."
I am actually glad he is part of the book, though, as I would love to read and learn how the other three contributors challenge him and respond to his arguments.
Unitarianism entails (1) Arianism from the 300s A.D., and (2) Socinianism from the 1500s A.D.Arius at least admitted Jesus pre-existed His earthly life and was a 'lesser elohim.' (However, saying Jesus was created, denying He is God Himself, is non-Christianity.) Socinianism says Jesus was just a normal human highly exalted.
Hopefully those other 3 will do a good job of it. Unitarianism is one of the most dangerous cults in the world because they have no extra Scriptures or have a bunch of crazy beliefs, and furthermore many Christians can't point to the Bible verses which definitively exclude Unitarianism from Christianity.
Thought I'd throw out a warning. I have engaged the Socinian cult for more than a decade.
P.S. The largest group of modern Arians is the Jehovah's Witnesses.The Socinians like to call themselves [the impossible term] "Biblical Unitarian." That UCA organization is a pseudo-scholarly farce, but they're trying to make their cult more popular in the public eye.
