Know your own faith: the Trinity

Before you defend the Trinity to a Muslim friend, can you describe it in three plain sentences? This module makes sure.

Starting prompt

If a Muslim friend asks, 'Do Christians worship three gods?' — describe the Trinity in three sentences without using technical jargon.

Practical disciplines

  • Read John 1:1-14, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, and 1 John 4:8 in one sitting.
  • Memorize the Nicene Creed. Notice how it predates Muhammad by three centuries.
  • Practice describing the Trinity in 30 seconds without lapsing into tritheism, modalism, or Mary.
  • Read one short essay on the Trinity (recommended: Fred Sanders, *The Deep Things of God*, chapter 1).
