The author of this book endeavors to present a straightforward approach to understanding the Trinity--an approach that hopefully welcomes all to a closer relationship with the Godhead. The author is a nontheologian lay writer who writes to fellow laypersons. Among objectives, a primary focus throughout is to reduce the complexity and mystery of the Trinity by emphasizing the dynamics of the three interrelationships as well as their respective manifestations through time. This approach contrasts with many studies on the Trinity which are complicated with discussions of historical details and theological doctrines, and can be confusing to a reader who is seeking an understanding of the Trinity concept. Focusing on merely an analysis or elaborate background description of the creeds, for example, does not bring "life" to the Trinitarian experience.
In summary, the approach is a socialization of the Trinity. By focusing on the interaction among the three personages of the Trinity, the author endeavors to bring to the reader a more personalized "living" experience for the everyday life of peaceful, reassuring awareness. Many more contemporary writers dealing with the Trinity are focusing on dynamism, relationality, and motion to bring the Trinity into a more "living, loving" force for readers. The author has adopted this prescription throughout to enhance the effectiveness of the effort for the ultimate spiritual fulfillment of the reader.
