The Only True God addresses these and other questions with insight and clarity. When Jesus calls his Father “the only true God” in John 17:3, is he addressing his Father as one of the three Persons in the Godhead, or as one Person who alone is the only true God? What do the apostles teach us about the oneness of God? What do we make of John’s astounding statement that the Word became flesh? The lack of a precise, Biblically-rooted monotheism in Christianity has far-reaching consequences for our spiritual lives, even hindering our ability to obey–with single-minded totality–a command that Jesus stresses repeatedly: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” Yet seldom is this doctrine examined in the light of its Jewish roots and of God’s revelation in the Scriptures. ![]() Monotheism–the belief in one and only God–is a cornerstone doctrine of the Christian faith. ![]() ![]() Hardcover or paperback, 684 pages, 2008: Xlibris Corporation
