Publisher's Synopsis
The Doctrine of the Trinity, Apologetically Considered is a theological book written by John Richardson Illingworth in 1907. The book is an examination of the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, which asserts that there is one God in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. Illingworth approaches the topic from an apologetic perspective, seeking to defend the doctrine against criticisms and objections. He explores the historical development of the doctrine, tracing its roots in the New Testament and the early church fathers. He also examines the philosophical implications of the doctrine, considering how it relates to concepts such as unity, diversity, and personhood. Throughout the book, Illingworth engages with a range of theological and philosophical perspectives, including those of skeptics, atheists, and non-Christian religions. He argues that the doctrine of the Trinity is a coherent and necessary part of Christian theology, and that it provides a framework for understanding the nature of God and the relationship between God and humanity. Overall, The Doctrine of the Trinity, Apologetically Considered is a comprehensive and scholarly exploration of one of the central doctrines of Christianity. It is written for a readership with a strong background in theology and philosophy, and is likely to be of interest to scholars, students, and practitioners of Christian theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
