Father, Son, & Holy Spirt
Chapter 1 of the Father, Son, & Holy Spirt pulls the reader into a discussion about why understanding the Trinity is important in the life of Christian believer. Ware expounds on the point that Gods wisdom chose reveal himself as Triune. Causing mankind to lean towards gaining wisdom about Him by means of faith alone.

Gods holiness is then contrast with his love. Which I found to be an awesome
