There was an important debate on the Trinity, 10/09/08, at TEDS.  W. Grudem and B. Ware argued for the semi-Arian position of CBMW, while Tom McCall and Keith Yandell argued for the historic, “Orthodox” view of the Trinity.  And you will find a good report and summary of the debate at http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2008/octoberweb-only/141-23.0.hmtl.  But the indications are that “the Battle for the Trinity” is far from over. 
      And so if we want to better understand this doctrine and how to contend for it in these times, I recommend the following books:
1.  The Forgotten Trinity: Recovering the Heart of Christian Belief, by James R. White.
2.  God in Three Persons: A Contemporary Interpretation of the Trinity, by Millard J. Erickson.
3.  One God in Trinity: An Analysis of the Primary Dogma of Christianity, eds. Peter Toon and James Springster. 
4.  The Trinity: Global Perspectives, by Velerie-Matti Karkarharen.
      Now, if you have read my blog on the Trinity, you will understand how serious I view the perversion of this centeral doctrine by certain persons to ground their false teaching regard the permanent subjugation of women to men.  Therefore, I have written a revised version of my “The Trinity and Evangelical Neo-Arianism” to Jon Zens, encouraging him to use it as one of several articles in a special edition of Searching Together on the Trinity debate.  For, as urged in Jude 3-4, I intend to contend for the Faith against all dangerous heresies, and will continue to encourgae others to do the same.
