The Trinity is central to Christian faith, but many Christians have questions about what the Trinity is and why we believe in a trinitarain God. In The Tripersonal God, Gerald O'Collins examines the roots and development of trinitarian belief, drawing on three areas for reflection: testimony to the tripersonal God in scriptures - both the Old Testament background and the teachings of Paul and the gospel writers; the development of trinitarian doctrine form the second-century writers and the early councils of the church through medieval theology and modern challenges; and major trinitarian issues of today, such as naming the Trinity, the distinct personal existence of the Holy Spirit, and trinitarian imagery.
