The Myth of the Christian Trinity

"Sleight of Mind", Volume One

"Sleight of Mind”—Volume One—The Myth of the Christian Trinity was created for a broad cross-section of listeners—from those with but a casual and passing interest in the subject to those fiercely passionate about it on either side of the question.

In a vast ocean of books which dutifully present, support, and defend the doctrine of the Trinity, there are precious few which provide the compelling, if not overwhelming, case for the idea that it is just simply so much “hot air”. Such a statement is not meant to disrespect the Bible, nor its God, nor His anointed Savior, Jesus, nor folks who embrace a belief in them.

The author, himself, is a passionate believer in all three (although this book is written for believer and non-believer alike). Rather, it is meant to call into question a centuries-old article of Christian faith which—as the book shall demonstrate—possesses not one scintilla of explicit Biblical evidence with which to support itself. The book journeys from the simple and basic facts underlying the issue to the more advanced and complex positions taken by either side.

It begins with a kind of “Biblical Monotheism 101”—answering questions like “What is the Bible?”, “Who is God?”, and “What is The Trinity?”, and goes on to establish that according to the Bible only the Father is God—not His son and not His holy spirit. The book is not preachy. It doesn’t attempt to tell its listeners what to think. Rather, it presents the often overlooked evidence and reasonings which support the Non-Trinitarian understanding of the Biblical God, and then leaves it to the listener to form their own opinion.

Does the Bible present the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost as co-equal and co-eternal spirit persons subsisting within God’s being, or does it present the Father alone as God and His Son and Spirit as deriving their existence from Him? As we used to say in grade-school when giving an oral book-report: “To find out, you’ll have to [listen to] the book”

Very well researched

I personally am not a huge "trinitarian" I don't have much of a working knowledge of it. However after listening to this performance I'd say I'm much better equipped to have a conversation about it. This information was poised and well researched it needs to be shared! Thank up for doing this!
