A Brief Declaration And Vindication Of The Doctrine Of The Trinity

[NOT A FACSIMILE]In this focused and enlightening treatise, John Owen defends the truth and coherency of the doctrine of the Trinity. Owen responds most explicitly to the heresy of "Socinianism." Socinianism holds that Christ did not pre-exist before being a man. Working with both Scripture and tradition, Owen vigorously argues for a traditional account of the Trinity. Owen doesn't just defend this doctrine, however; he also calls for faith in it as well. To indicate the importance of the Trinity, Owen ends his treatise with an explanation of the satisfaction of Christ. For without the Trinity, Owen argues, there can be no doctrine of satisfaction of sins through Christ. Unlike some of Owen's other work, Brief Declaration and Vindication of the Doctrine of the Trinity is highly focused, lacking long treatments of secondary points. This tightly argued work will remind readers of the importance and power of the doctrine of the Trinity.

A highly focused work that defends the traditional view of the Trinity. The main point of the work is to defend the traditional view against the heresy of Socinianism which asserts that Christ did not pre-exist the incarnate state. Not only does Owen defend the traditional view but he sternly calls for faith in it and that the view of the Trinity held by the church is key to the satisfaction of sins that Christ performed at the cross. All aspects of the Christian faith rely on this theology and is very important to all people in their personal walks with the living God.
