Before examining what God is like, Tozer pauses to consider who God is — and the doctrine of the Trinity is not an abstract puzzle but the very shape of the eternal love into which we are invited.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Tozer acknowledges that the Trinity is a mystery that surpasses human reason, yet he insists it is not irrational. What is the difference between something that is *above* reason and something that is *against* reason?
2.He argues that the Trinity is not a speculative philosophical idea but a truth revealed by God's self-disclosure in Scripture and in salvation history. How does the experience of salvation itself — being drawn to the Father through the Son by the Spirit — give us experiential access to trinitarian reality?
3.Tozer reflects on the eternal fellowship within the Godhead — Father, Son, and Spirit in infinite mutual love. How does this picture of God as an eternal community of love change the way you think about the origin of love, of relationship, of creation itself?
