- Description
- Knox explores the doctrine of the Trinity as it is revealed in Holy Scripture. The doctrine is entirely drawn from revelation and depends on the authority of Scripture. At its heart, the Trinity shows that ultimate reality is personal relationship, characterised by other-person-centredness in which the welfare of the other is sought. Each Person of the Trinity is closely related yet remains distinct, never separable, for in all the works of God the Trinity is undivided. The New Testament is fundamentally Trinitarian, while the Old Testament, though less explicit, contains many passages that allude to the doctrine. The Trinity is therefore a fuller expression of God’s unity, revealed through Christ and the Spirit. The Personhood of the Trinity helps believers to grasp the relational character and values of God: love, self-sacrifice, goodness, fairness, and faithfulness. It also clarifies the mystery of the Incarnation and God’s engagement with humanity, as well as humanity’s creation in God’s image and the consequences of the Fall. Finally, the Trinity teaches that there is an order and structure in ultimate reality. The Old Testament, though not explicit, contains many allusions to the Trinity. The doctrine is a fuller statement of God’s unity, revealed in Christ and through the Spirit. The Personhood of the Trinity illuminates God’s character and values—love, self-sacrifice, goodness, fairness, and faithfulness—all relational and personal qualities. The Trinity deepens our understanding of the Incarnation and God’s interaction with humanity. It also shapes our view of humanity created in God’s image and the consequences of the Fall. Finally, the Trinity reveals ordering in ultimate reality.
