Contemporary Challenges to the Trinity with Malcolm Yarnell

Malcolm Yarnell

Contemporary challenges to the doctrine of the Trinity are examined by highlighting historic and modern heresies that distort the biblical understanding of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Malcolm Yarnell encourages believers to combat these errors by grounding their communities in Scripture, classical creeds, prayerful dependence on the Spirit, and careful teaching that honors both the mystery and majesty of the Triune God.
