    5 Stars Out Of 5
    Excellent In-Depth Book

    This book is divided into three larger sections and subdivisions in those sections. It talks about the history of what has been taught about the Trinity.

    It then breaks down into how John speaks about God, the Father; God, the Son; and God, the Holy Spirit in his gospel.

    It has in-depth footnotes in case you want to do further research into the subject. It has an extensive Bibliography in the back of the book also.

    The book is a very scholarly work and gives Scriptures throughout the chapters. However, it is also very understandable if you want to just read it without doing the extra work of looking up passages. However, I think you will miss the depth of the book if you do this.

    I have lots of underlining and notes throughout the book.

    This is the first of the book in this series I have read. I didn't realize it was part of a series until I got the book. You do not have to read any of the other books to get a lot out of this book.

    I specifically chose this book because our church is doing a year-long study on the Trinity and someone suggested that the Gospel of John had a lot about the Trinity in it. This book talks about how John shows how the three work together.

    I purchased this book and did not receive it to review although I have received books this way from other publishers in the past.

    If you are searching for an in-depth, scholarly, yet easy-to-understand book on either the book of John or specifically the Trinity, then you will get a lot of information from it. It is not a fast read as it over 200 pages long with the various resources listed above as well as an index of Scripture references in the back and a list of abbreviations in the front.

    [This is an excerpt of my full review available on my blog: http://mydigitalseminary.com/father-son-and-spirit/]

    Köstenberger has a commentary on John and a work on John's theology, but Father, Son and Spirit still has its place. For a concise work on Trinitarian studies in John from a Biblical theological approach, this is a highly recommended work. This also is a fantastic book to see the how the doctrine of the Trinity is tethered to Biblical studies. Father, Son and Spirit would serve any interested student or teacher, or even be helpful in a class environment. It is a natural addition to the already excellent New Studies in Biblical Theology series.

    //Many thanks to Christine Bradley and IVP UK for a review copy of this book in return for a fair review. All words reflect my own opinion.//
