About the Book

Every human being has his or her own perspective and experiences truth from this viewpoint. Is it possible to discern perspectives that originate from the mystery of the Trinity--from the fact that one God exists in three persons? Once we know from the Bible that God is Trinitarian, we can begin to notice reflections of his Trinitarian character in both general and special revelation. Vern Poythress is one of a small number of theologians who have developed and used a number of triads of perspectives (coherent groups of three) in theology. This book directly explores the relation of these perspectives to the Trinitarian character of God. It shows that a number of triads of perspectives show analogies to the Trinity. Understanding these analogies helps readers to perceive the Bible and the world as the creation of our Trinitarian God.

About the Author :
Vern S. Poythress (MLitt, University of Cambridge; PhD, Harvard University; DTh, University of Stellenbosch, South Africa) is distinguished professor of New Testament, biblical interpretation, and systematic theology at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. He has authored books on a wide range of topics; his notable works include The Returning King, Theophany, and The Mystery of the Trinity.

Review :
"For many years now, we have seen the fruitful use of multiperspectivalism or triperspectivalism in the Reformed theology of John Frame and Vern Poythress. Poythress now opens up for us a window onto the rich tapestry of the triad of perspectives in Knowing and the Trinity. He grounds the use of perspectives in the being of the triune God of Scripture and demonstrates their theoretical and practical value. These perspectives do not undermine the absolute truth of God and his Word but expose us to the ever-increasing depth that we discover in God's Word and world. Poythress shows us that triadic perspectives are analogues of God's triune being as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, are revealed in the flow of salvation history, are experienced in our space and time, and culminate in the glory of the new heaven and the new earth. Here we have unpacked for us the rationale behind triperspectivalism, and the author demonstrates its theological wealth. I heartily recommend this new book."--Jeffrey C. Waddington, Stated Supply, Knox Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Lansdowne, Pennsylvania "In recent decades, many evangelical scholars, students, and laypeople have found triperspectivalism extraordinarily helpful, but they have also found it confusing. Vern Poythress has given us what amounts to a primer on this subject. His explanations are brief and clear. He securely anchors his outlooks in the Scriptures and in orthodox Trinitarian theology. The illustrations and glossary make Poythress's discussions accessible to a wide range of readers. Study questions encourage both theoretical and practical reflection. This book is a window into ways of thinking about and living the Christian faith that will greatly benefit us all."--Richard L. Pratt Jr., President, Third Millennium Ministries "In this fascinating and highly accessible book, Dr. Poythress puts his perspectival method to work in a wide-ranging exploration of Trinitarian theology. Underlying his discussion is the conviction that while this is a mystery surpassing our capacities, God has revealed himself in creation and grace, his triune fingerprints evident wherever we turn. Any discussion of the doctrine of God should take Poythress's important contribution into serious consideration. I know of nothing else quite like it."--Robert Letham, Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Union School of Theology (formerly Wales Evangelical School of Theology) "Poythress has done it again. Knowing and the Trinity: How Perspectives in Human Knowledge Imitate the Trinity is a fresh discussion on how a robust understanding of God's triune being deepens, challenges, and expands our notions of human knowledge and theological method. Poythress dispels myths of perspectivalism (especially the all-too-common objection of relativism) and persuasively argues for the deeply related and organic nature of God's revelation. My hope is that Poythress's example will produce much biblically faithful theological creativity."--Joseph E. Torres, Editor, John M. Frame's Apologetics: A Justification of Christian Belief "This book begins simply enough, but soon we discover that it opens our eyes to refreshing new ways of viewing God, the Bible, ourselves, and the world from multiple perspectives, all grounded ultimately in the mysterious triune nature of God. Poythress has given us in this book the valuable fruit of a lifetime of reflection on the teachings of the whole of Scripture."--Wayne Grudem, Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies, Phoenix Seminary
