The Trinity

"The Trinity: A Classic Study of Biblical Trinitarianism" by Edward H. Bickersteth.  This was a tough but absolutely rewarding read.  I have never come across a book that outlined in great detail the glorious truths about the essence, unity, distinctions and relationships between the Godhead.  Bickersteth wrote not only with depth of knowledge but with a spirit of evangelistic zeal.  His concern for his reader's soul is throughout his work.  Somewhere back in the late 1800s and in the church of England there still remained a witness for Bible truth with a soul-winning fire and Bickersteth's work is a case in point.
