A Clear, Readable, and Necessary Contribution
Format: Paperback
This is a clear, readable, and necessary book. The Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith, but it can be difficult to articulate in a simple and coherent way. As one who regularly teaches the topic in the Catholic high school setting, I appreciated the very accessible approach that the author takes. Anyone who struggles with the basic meaning of the doctrine would benefit from this text, as would those who are tasked with explaining it to others.
From the very first page of the book, the author presents the doctrine of the Trinity through three basic statements:
1. There is only one God.
2. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is each God.
3. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not the same.
Besides a very good opening chapter on the ability to speak about God at all, the entire book is basically an unpacking of why the Church came to believe in these three statements and the problems (aka heresies) that arise when any one of the three is denied. Over the course of the book, the reader will become familiar with many of the key biblical texts underlying the doctrine of the Trinity and the early theologians who defended it. While this is not primarily a work of doctrinal history, the arguments are almost entirely based on the thought of these fourth and fifth century theologians.
Two points are worth noting, though neither was a "deal breaker" for me:
First, be ready for lots of references to popular culture. I was surprised to see mentions of everything from Wayne's World and Borat to the song Achy Breaky Heart and the Three Amigos. These are no doubt great examples from the author's experience, as university teacher, in connecting the subject matter to his student audience. But in almost every instance I found myself drawn away from the topic at hand and in some cases I was left pondering the usefulness of the gratuitous reference itself. Luckily, I got almost every single one--until a late reference to the British TV series Father Ted forced me to look it up on Google. Second, I'm not sure if this book is still in such an early printing that it hasn't been physically typeset yet, but my edition looked as though an inkjet printer produced it. In an age of Retina display screens, it was a bit odd being disappointed in the quality of actual printed text.
Overall, I highly recommend the book. I've just ordered the author's previous book from Paulist Press and look forward to his future works.

This book is good if you wish to know the heresies of the Trinity. It does not cover the inner working relationships of the Trinity.

It doesn't have to be a mystery
Format: Paperback
The answer almost every Catholic including the clergy give regarding the Trinity is "its a mystery." Its not if you read Bullivant it is now a discussion and conversation about the Christian understanding of God. Now the person in the pew can help explain "the mystery" to the clergy who haven't read The Trinity. The author introduces the Trinity as "supreme simplicity" and then guides discussion through an adult presentation of a fundamental belief among Christians.
The style is very conversational with wonderful and one could say fun examples. The author makes excellent use of scripture and the writings of the early Christian church before all the disputes and splits started. He does it all in about a 100 pages. Perfect for the curious, those wanting a real answer about the Trinity and for small study groups. Finally it is done with an ecumenical approach that allows Christians to dialogue together and with those with different or no faith tradition.

Highly recommended.

This book is a good introduction to the theology of the Trinity
Format: Paperback
As a Catholic priest, I am on the lookout for books which may help those who want to delve more deeply into theology. This book is a good introduction to the theology of the Trinity. Professor Bullivant shows why it is biblical. He also explains some of the more difficult terminology very well. Also, his opening chapter provides a memorable explanation of the via negativa in theology.
I highly recommend this text.
