God in Three Persons

The word Trinity doesn't appear in the Bible - yet Christians for centuries have held that it is a biblical truth, foundational to orthodoxy. But very few understand how the doctrine came to be. Author E. Calvin Beisner traces the formulationof the doctrine and all the controversies that arose among early Christians who strove to find acceptable language to correctly state this important doctrine.
