How to Explain the Trinity: The Trinity Defined
The Trinity is one of the great mysteries of the Faith. Defining the Trinity is both simple and complex: God is One, yet God exists in 3 Persons--Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The pamphlet includes the following:

• A clear, easy-to-understand definition of the Trinity doctrine
• 60 Scriptures used to support the belief that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all God, not three names for the same Person
• Chart comparing the power and attributes of the 3 Persons of the Trinity
• Chart comparing the "Unique" traits of God and Jesus

Size: 8.5" x 5.5" unfolds to 33" long. Fits inside most Bible covers.

• Theophilus, sixth bishop of Antioch in Syria, is the first person known to have used the word "Trinity" in his work, Refutation of Autolycus (AD 168).

Six Misunderstandings and Misinterpretations about the Trinity
It's probably not surprising that a doctrine that's as critical as the Trinity is at the center of numerous misunderstandings. The pamphlet addresses six of the most common Trinity misunderstandings.

The Christian Creeds and the Trinity
The pamphlet shows how early Christians addressed these misunderstandings through some of the earliest statements of faith:

• The Apostles' Creed, written in the second century
• The Nicene Creed, written in 325 AD
• Athanasian Creed, written c. 400 AD
• Chalcedoian Creed, written in 451 AD

One of the most powerful charts in the pamphlet shows that God and Jesus Christ share 10 key traits that are mentioned in the Old Testament as applying to no-one but God. Another chart shows seven divine attributes shared by Father, Son and Holy Spirit--with Scripture references for each.
