(What better way to live and understand the Christian fait...)
What better way to live and understand the Christian faith than to understand the faith of Jesus and His interpretation of the Bible. The author offers the Christian community a well-written, insightful resource for grasping our faith, our God, our basis for life as Christians. He has taken biblical interpretation out of the hands of professors and scholars and put it where it will have more impressive results. Wainwright has "given" it back to Jesus. As the center of our religion, Jesus taught and lived the Bible. He is the motivating force of the New Testament. Wainwright calls us to look at the Scriptures through the teachings of Jesus.

(It is often said that the doctrine of the Trinity was imp...)
It is often said that the doctrine of the Trinity was implicit in the religion of the New Testament Christians but only received theological formulation when their successors reflected on the faith by which they were living. Mr. Wainwright sets out to discover how far the writers of the New Testament were conscious of the problem involved in their faith which led to the working out of the doctrine by their successors. His conclusion, based upon a meticulous examination of the evidence, is that, although they made no formal statement of the doctrine, the problem was present in their minds and that they were seeking to answer it. So, in so far as doctrine is an answer to a problem, the doctrine of the Trinity emerges in the New Testament, and is far from being a speculation inessential to the Christian message.
