“This book is exactly what we have been needing: an evenhanded introduction to trinitarianism that displays the conceptual foundations, building up the doctrine precept on precept, in proper sequence. By organizing the material conceptually rather than historically, Butner frees himself to call on an exceptionally wide range of witnesses from all eras of theological history and all corners of the theological world. Trinitarian Dogmatics resources contemporary readers with much-needed clarity, breadth, and depth.”—Fred Sanders, professor of theology, Torrey Honors College, Biola University

“Butner offers a true dogmatic account of the doctrine of the Trinity that is generous, engaging, and clearly tied to our life and work. He approaches each topic in a fresh way, while remaining grounded within the pro-Nicene tradition. For those new to the doctrine and for those who have studied it for many years, this book is for you.”—Madison Pierce, assistant professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

“What an impressive book! I don’t think there is another book like this one, and it is high time that the lacuna is rectified. Its scope of topics, breadth of scholarship, and balanced judgments in defense of classical trinitarian doctrine are just extraordinary—and the book is beautifully written, to top it off. Every element of trinitarian doctrine here receives a cogent, biblically grounded presentation. Highly recommended!”—Matthew Levering, James N. Jr. and Mary D. Perry Chair of Theology, Mundelein Seminary

“Trinitarian Dogmatics tackles the many questions surrounding Christian belief in the trinitarian God in a manner that is clear yet rigorous. Considering both the ancient unfolding and the contemporary revival of trinitarian theology, this book demonstrates the biblical foundation of the analytical concepts traditionally employed for making sense of God as Trinity. In doing so, Butner offers an understanding of the Trinity that is coherent, timely, and practical. Trinitarian Dogmatics is both a good place to start and an original contribution to current discussion on the Trinity.”—Aristotle Papanikolaou, professor of theology, Archbishop Demetrios Chair in Orthodox Theology and Culture, and cofounder and codirector of the Orthodox Christian Studies Center, Fordham University

“Modern and contemporary theology has lost sight of orthodox trinitarianism, as seen in its rejection of divine simplicity, its suspicion of eternal generation, its nominal enthusiasm for inseparable operations, and its radical attempt to reconfigure the divine persons as a social Trinity. Glenn Butner’s Trinitarian Dogmatics is a sign of hope, proof that the recovery of classical trinitarianism is not only possible but profitable for a new age of dogmatics. Equally astute in his retrieval of Nicene trinitarianism and unwavering in his commitment to scriptural revelation, Butner illuminates the countless ways our trinitarianism is malnourished, desperate for a dose of dogmatics. May this book be the firstfruits of a plentiful harvest to come in the recovery of trinitarian dogmatics.”—Matthew Barrett, associate professor of Christian theology, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; author of Simply Trinity
