Synopsis

What if the Trinity we've been taught is not the Trinity of the Bible? In this groundbreaking book, Matthew Barrett reveals a shocking discovery: we have manipulated the Trinity, recreating the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in our own image. We have distorted the biblical, orthodox Trinity to justify our countless social agendas.

With clarity, creativity, and conviction Barrett mines the scriptures as well as the creeds and confessions of the faith to help you rediscover the beauty and simplicity of our Triune God. Barrett introduces you to The Dream Team, the best of the church fathers, who teach us how to interpret the Bible in a way that avoids past and present trinitarian heresies. You will also be surprised to learn that what you believe about the Trinity has untold consequences for salvation and the Christian life. To truly know God, you must meet the One who is simply Trinity.

His appeal to maintain orthodox trinitarian theology is appealing and his pushback on EFS makes sense to me for the most part. Where I still struggle are points of the book where Barrett seemed to push bac......more

Goodreads review by Andrew on February 16, 2025

Barrett's book is excellent, thorough, and rigorous. I appreciated how Simply Trinity was rooted in the fathers of the faith and stands on the strong faithful tradition. One thing that I found really helpful was how Barrett has brief explanations for theological terms and brief biographies of differ......more

Goodreads review by Will on February 04, 2023

This is an excellent work. Written to be accessible and interesting, Barrett persuasively contends for the traditional understanding of the Trinity against competing models such as the various iterations of social Trinitarianism utilizing both historical and biblical evidence. Not stopping at theolo......more

Goodreads review by Jordan on May 04, 2021

A great and readable treatment of the subject. The book as a whole lays out the classical Nicene (in its Western formulation) doctrine through Scripture and history, while countering modern deviations from the classical approach. The most valuable chapter is a critique of the EFS view promoted by Wa......more
