God Unknown

Ian Mobsby is an Anglican minister who grew up in a household with atheist parents and came to faith through experience of God. This book is as much about Mobsby's spiritual journey and setting out his beliefs as it is about the Holy Trinity. In the beginning of the book Mobsby declares that knowing God is about both feeling and intellect. He claims that the Triune God cannot be fully known through scripture itself and requires experiential encounters. The book gives an outline of the Trinity as understood in the early church through both scripture and the writings of the early Church mothers and fathers. His outline is fairly thorough for a book of this size but at times appears to be skewed towards Mobsby's understanding of the Trinity. \\r\\n\\r\\n Rublev's Icon is reproduced and employed as a platform from which he explains the modern experience of Trinity from the point of view of four Emerging Church projects. \\r\\n\\r\\nThe book is easy to read and before employing any theological or technical terminology Mobsby gives a definition of the term or phrase. The heavy reliance on popular movies or books may leave the reader disconnected from the point being made. \\r\\n\\r\\nThis book seems unfairly weighted towards Mobsby's theology and may leave an uninformed reader with no alternative but to adopt the author's point of view.
