“The doctrine of the Trinity is nuanced, difficult, and crucial. ‘The verbal expression of the Trinity is the most difficult job man has had to do,’ J. I. Packer once said. Ryan McGraw has served the church well by directly answering the critics who accuse Trinitarian Christians of philosophizing rather than theologizing, of speculating rather than expositing. He provides a verse by verse, text by text scriptural exposition of the historic doctrine of the Trinity, its formulation, careful expression, and practical application.”
