Today, while almost all other Christian doctrines are now taken to be matters for debate, the Trinity remains the fundamental dividing line between views widely described ‘orthodox’ or ‘heretic’.

 The approach taken to this subject by the two authors of this very readable book is largely to ignore the theologians and orthodox ‘scholarship’and simply to let the Bible speak for itself. I was struck by the quite astounding number of Bible quotes referenced (nearly 1,000), and by the intelligence and directness in dealing with those verses. By its careful consideration of each passage and its constant comparison of Scripture with Scripture, this book presents its conclusions in a totally convincing and non-confrontational way.

 As one reviewer so accurately described it:

“The primary aim of the authors has been to present the positive teaching of Scripture to such effect that Trinitarian concepts become untenable.”

Consequently, some Christians reading this book will be disturbed by the force of its conclusions. Others will thoroughly welcome such a clear and logical presentation of Bible teaching on a subject that should be at the very core of Christianity itself.

 Although the book has tremendous value as a work of reference for anyone trying to understand this most important subject, or explain ‘difficult’ passages, there is really no substitute for reading the book as a whole. In fact, while the book may outwardly bare little resemblance to a conventional detective thriller, anyone reading it with a sincere wish to understand the Bible correctly may even experience a ‘page-turning’ compulsion as its explanations unfold!

 A thoroughly enjoyable and useful read.

Every Bible reader will immediately recognize the main title of this book, taken as it is from the prayer given by Jesus to his disciples in response to their appeal that he teach them how to pray. Unfortunately, as the author of this book explains, familiarity with isolated passages of Scripture is no substitute for a thorough examination of all the Bible if its main message is to be correctly understood.

 When asked how to eat an elephant, a comic once replied “One mouthful at a time!” Similarly, when trying to understand the facts about the Kingdom of God, as taught by Christ and the apostles, it helps to have this big and vitally important subject served up in digestible portions.

 Reading the 13 manageable chapters, I was treated to a helpful and totally convincing explanation of this fundamental subject. Taking me from the origin of the Kingdom of God in the past, through the Old Testament promises that point to its reappearance in the future, my appreciation of this otherwise familiar subject was considerably increased. Along the way its future operation was clearly explained, and I was encouraged to prepare for that Kingdom now given the Bible-based evidence that it will soon be here.

 Nobody reading this book will be left unmoved by the force of this exciting Christian doctrine, once it’s correctly understood. And it was thoroughly refreshing to read another of this author’s books where he again lets the Bible speak for itself in such a thorough and totally logical way.

 In short, this book is a real feast of those “good things” in the Bible that anyone can absorb and enjoy – if they are willing to do so with an open mind.
