Devoted to the defense of the "Hebraic background" explanation of the relationship of the Father and the Son,

Our presentation of books below does not mean that we endorse each and every statment of the authors. We do believe that there is much good information to obtained from the books listed.



The Great Debate Regarding The Father, Son & Holy Spirit
An exhaustive verse-by-verse, side-by-side comparison of four historical paradigms. The four views compared are Oneness, Trinitarian, Arian, and Unitarian. The first section compares answers to interview questions such as: "What are the consequences for others not believing as you do?". This is followed by several hundred passages of Scripture and a comment on each verse by each view. Finally the book has a variety of notes: John 1:1 is compared by various scholars. Notes showing the progression of the creeds, quotations from early church fathers, notes from Adolph Harnack's History of Dogma, notes from Hans Kung's Christianity: Essence, History and Future, and a couple of articles dealing with the origins and reasonableness of the Trinity finish up the 120 page 8.5 X 11 book (plastic comb binding).
Jesus - God or Son of God? by Brian Holt

An analysis of the most common arguments used to both prove and disprove the notion that Jesus is God. Beginning with the book of Matthew and continuing through Revelation, it tallies and discusses every scripture that implies Jesus is God and every scripture that implies he is not. Not to be left out of the discussion is a comparison of the arguments from the Hebrew scriptures.

This work discusses the common arguments used by both sides and provides the response given by the opposing view. It concludes by asking the reader to review the arguments from both sides and determine for himself what he believes. If you want to know what evidence there is that Jesus is God (or what evidence there is that he is not), this is the book that presents a fair and balanced discussion of the matter.

Before you discuss this subject with a Trinitarian or a non-Trinitarian, make sure you know why he believes what he believes. A comparison of the arguments is in order.


The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop
This book is written by a trinitarian, but it does offer some good historical background of the trinity.
Concepts of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by Matthew Alfs
Subtitled "A Classification and Description of the Trinitarian and Non-Trinitarian Theologies Existent Within Christendom," this is a theological and historical handbook of how the variety of Christian denominations have defined and viewed God the Father, Christ the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit. Detailed and penetrating, it demonstrates how Christendom's many denominations and sects have differed and even powerfully clashed in explicating this so-called "central doctrine of the Christian faith," often with heated verbal sparring and sometimes by inflicting physical violence on opposers. Objective in tone, which is rare for a work of this sort, this careful study encourages the reader to draw his or her own conclusions. Unlike apologetic works, which often quote what critics say about variant denominational theologies, this work allows the plethora of denominations to speak for themselves. The author further solicited comments from many denominational headquarters to clarify and expand upon material from their available published works. It can truly be said that no stone has been left unturned in order to provide the reader with full and complete coverage of the subject. Includes 355 references and a detailed index. Sturdy libary binding, brown cloth with gold-embossed ccover illustration. 104pp.
The Role of Theology and Bias in Bible Translation Hardcover; Paperback edition
by Rolf Furuli
In the natural sciences, a basic principle is to break everything down to the smallest possible units and then study each unit. In linguistics and in the study of the biblical languages, a similar principle was followed with the word as the basic unit, but from the middle of this century the view has developed that the smallest units which were meaningful for translation had to be the sentence or even the paragraph. The author believes that the pendulum has swung too far in one direction, and that it still is meaningful to work with the word as the fundamental unit of translation. The book therefore suggests that for a particular target group - those who, by the help of their mother tongue, want to come as close as possible to the original languages - a literal translation will be better than an idiomatic one. In the course of discussion it is shown that the principles on which such a translation is based accords fully with modern linguistic principles."
