Various Introductions to the Doctrine of the Trinity


Some introductions to the doctrine of the Trinity from various Evangelical teachers:


 What is the Doctrine of the Trinity? by Wesley Huff




The Tri Unity of God








The Eternal Generation of the Son by Lee Irons


Lee Irons explains the doctrine of the eternal generation/filiation of the Son, and the eternal procession/spiration of the Holy Spirit. I don't dogmatically hold to these doctrines, but I do lean toward them. They make some metaphysical and philosophical sense. As well as having some Biblical warrant. Though, not as strong as Dr. Irons claims. His inferences from Scripture aren't necessary, even if they might be likely/probable. Western Trinitarian Christianity has traditionally held to these doctrines, even though some modern Protestants reject them in order to affirm that Christ and the Spirit are themselves also autotheos as the Father is.
