There’s so many good free Christian E-books online these days. This is one of them!
This book is a work by New Testament Scholar Vern Poythress who teaches at Westminster Theological Seminary. It is titled “Knowing and the Trinity” with the subtitle “How Perspectives in Human Knowledge Imitate the Trinity.”
While Poythress official teaching position is New Testament professor I have found him to be skilled in multiple discipline ranging from linguistics, philosophy of science, apologetics and biblical theology.
Here’s a description of the book:
Every human being has a distinct perspective and experiences truth from this viewpoint. If God exists in three persons, as the Bible teaches, is it possible to discern epistemological perspectives that originate from this mystery? Once we understand that God is Trinitarian, we can see numerous reflections of his Trinitarian character in general and in special revelation.
Vern Poythress is one of a growing number of theologians who have developed and used perspectival triads to further our knowledge of God. This book explores the relationship between numerous triads and God’s Trinitarian character, and shows that many triads reveal analogies to the Trinity. Understanding these analogies will help readers perceive the fundamental connections between our Trinitarian God, the Bible, and our created world.
This work is interesting for those interested in Presuppositional apologetics, Trinitarian theology and the foundation of human knowledge based upon one’s theology of God.

Thanks for posting this. Probably too advanced for a Theology 101 guy like me. 🙂 Too many good books and not enough time! 😦
Yeah there are indeed so many great books and not enough time! I imagine you are currently reading and juggling various books? I do like your book reviews, you are doing a big favor for the body of Christ with your critical and biblical reviews
Thanks, Jimmy! I enjoy your book reviews as well and appreciate how you’re building up the Body. There’s so much BAD information out there, believers need to be discerning. I have three book review drafts in the queue and I’m currently reading a new book from a Catholic writer about some of the many bad popes and bishops throughout Catholicism’s history. It may seem very strange that a Catholic would write something like this, but the book is from a very conservative Catholic publishing house and the goal is to calm the conservative faithful in the face of pope Francis’ heterodoxy. The message is,”See, prior popes and bishops were bad and the church survived and we will survive Francis as well.” Great stuff. Amazing to witness this infighting.
Thanks for the great resource. Blessings.

You’re welcome! What can I be praying for you this lovely day?

Thanks Jim! Got it bookmarked to read when I can!
You’re welcome, I’m glad to hear that. I hope you have a nice and productive day!
You too, Jim!
The Trinity of our God is such an important subject, denied not only by Muslim… Thank you for offering this ebook! As we are working in the world’s most populated islamic country (Indonesia), we had to publish some articles regarding our one God in three persons, who is so contrary to Muslim’s “Allah”:
