This book is the Trinity, a topic is often dismissed as mystery, unintelligible, or hard to understand. However, Reeves has treated this topic in a language and style that is accessible even to those who do not have formal theological education. The wit and wisdom of the author is remarkable. His vast knowledge on the topic finds expression in simple and witty style keeping the readers hooked till the last page.
This illustrated book has textboxes that throw light on classical authors, and topics that brighten up the sidewalks of the main topic.
Instead of parading dry theological arguments, though the book is sound in its theological foundations, the author argues that the truth of Trinity is an integral part of Christian experience. The undeniable truth of Trinity is evident in creation, salvation, and the Christian life.
The main argument in support of God in three persons is the truth that God is love. Father God loved the son. The creation is an act of father’s love for the Son. Then the Son showed the Father’s love to us. Without the Son, we would never know or enjoy God’s love. We enjoy the Father’s love for us, shown to us by the Son by the ongoing ministry of the Spirit. If God were just one person, the statement that God is love would be void.
There are many books on Trinity, but this is unique since it explains how faith in the Triune God applies to my daily life as a disciple of Christ.
The title justifies the experience of the book. It is indeed a delightful experience to read this book which leads to immersing yourself in the knowledge and experience of the Holy Trinity, all around us and in us.
