Jesus and the father : modern evangelicals reinvent the doctrine of the Trinity / [print] Kevin Giles. - Grand Rapids, Michigan : Zondervan, (c)2006. - 320 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.
Contemporary Evangelicals and the doctrine of the Trinity -- Getting things straight : the issues in contention -- What the Bible says about the Trinity and what it does not say -- The eternal subordination of the Son of God -- The Father and the Son divided or undivided in power and authority -- Differentiating the trinitarian persons -- The economic and immanent Trinity : correspondence yes, identity no -- Subordination and obedience in the theology of Karl Barth.
The doctrine of the Trinity is one of the cornerstones of Christianity. In Jesus and the Father, Kevin Giles wrestles with questions about the Trinity that are dividing the evangelical community: What is the error called "subordinationism"? Is the Son eternally subordinated to the Father in function? Are the Father and the Son divided or undivided in power and authority? Is the Father-Son-Spirit relationship ordered hierarchical or horizontal? How should the Father and the Son be differentiated to avoid the errors of modalism and subordinationism? What is the relationship between the so-called economic Trinity and the immanent Trinity? Does the Father-Son relationship in the Trinity prescribe male-female relationships in the home and the church?
