Hi all. I'm interested in book recommendations on the development of the doctrine of the Trinity in the church fathers.
Ideally it would be something that takes a good look at monarchical Trinitarianism.
==============================
Matthew Bates
I'd especially recommend Anatolios, Retrieving Nicaea; Ayres, Nicaea and Its Legacy; Behr, The Way to Nicaea; Behr, The Nicene Faith (2 vols).; Dunzl, A Brief History of the Doctrine of the Trinity in the Early Church.
Joshua Barron
I’d start with David N. Bell’s CLOUD OF WITNESSES (as the most accessible), then move to the texts by John Behr mentioned by
Matthew Bates above, and then read vol. 1 in Jaroslav Pelikan’s THE CHRISTIAN TRADITION.
Speaking of Matthew, I’ve heard good things about his THE BIRTH OF THE TRINITY, but I haven’t read it yet.
Nathan Scott
In addition to the above excellent recommendations,
T.F. Torrance's "The Trinitarian Faith" is quite good.
Howard Diehl
Fr. John Behr has several volumes that are good, although the focus is more on Nicea
Elias Nyström
In The Holy Trinity Robert Letham gives a really good historical developments of the doctrine from the early church to this day. He has some excellent chapters on the early creeds, the Cappadocians and Augustine. I highly recommend it!
