Studies in Theology and the Arts Series
by Dalene Joy Fisher

In this New Studies in Biblical ...

New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Andreas J. Köstenberger and Scott R. Swain
Series edited by D. A. CarsonFrom the patristic period until today, John's Gospel has served as a major source for the church's knowledge, doctrine and worship of the triune God. Among all New Testament documents the Fourth Gospel provides not only the most raw material for the doctrine of the Trinity, but also the most highly developed patterns of reflection on this material—particularly patterns that seek to account in some ...
