The New Testament writers present the Trinity in surprising ways,
which impact our understanding of God and the mission of the church
We're used to hearing the traditional order of the Trinity, usually
used in baptisms: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But why does the
apostle Paul end his letter to the Corinthians with a benediction
naming the triune God in a different order: Son, Father, Spirit? In
fact, there are six possible arrangements for naming the Trinity,
each of which is used numerous times in the New Testament.
Analyzing the 75 New Testament references to the persons of the
Godhead, theologian Rodrick Durst demonstrates that the ways the
early church thought and talked about the Trinity had a great deal
of richness and diversity that has since been lost. From the
context of these passages Durst concludes that each order of the
three names corresponds to a particular purpose or movement of God
that the New Testament author is invoking: mission, salvation,
witness to Christ, sanctification, spiritual formation, and Church
unity. These six Trinitarian orders reveal God's calling to join
Him in six different works. Durst guides the reader through the
significance of each formulation and how it can powerfully shape
the twenty-first-century church and believers' formation, worship,
witness, and work.
