But why does the apostle Paul end his letter to the Corinthians with a benediction naming the triune God in a different order: Son, Father, Spirit? In fact, there are six possible arrangements for naming the Trinity, each of which is used numerous times in the New Testament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnalyzing the seventy-five New Testament references to the persons of the Godhead, theologian Rodrick Durst demonstrates that the ways the early church thought and talked about the Trinity had a great deal of richness and diversity that has since been lost. From the context of these passages Durst concludes that each order of the three names corresponds to a particular purpose or movement of God that the New Testament author is invoking: mission, salvation, witness to Christ, sanctification, spiritual formation, and Church unity. These six Trinitarian orders reveal God's calling to join Him in six different works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDurst guides the reader through the significance of each formulation and how it can powerfully shape the twenty-first-century church and believers' formation, worship, witness, and work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kregel Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026883133680,"sku":"9780825443787","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780825443787_p0.jpg?v=1763754959","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780825443787","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
