Keith Ward on the Trinity in the Bible

[It would be a mistake to claim that the Synoptic Gospels teach a] doctrine of the Trinity . . . The creative power of God, the unique relation of Jesus to God, and the life-giving power of the Spirit of God are clearly asserted. But a few conclusions an be drawn about their exact relations. There is nothing here which is in principle offensive to anyone who insists on the unity of God and accepts that the risen Jesus is worthy of worship but feels some reserve about speaking in the detail of 'the inner life of God'. (Keith Ward, Christ and the Cosmos: A Reformulation of Trinitarian Doctrine [Cambridge University Press, 2015], 50-51)
