Required Textbooks:

1.) Morey, Robert A., The Trinity: Evidence and Issues (Iowa Falls, IA: Word Bible Publishers, 1996):

Note: The 2015 edition of Morey’s book published by Xulon Press is also perfectly acceptable.

2.) Muller, Richard A., The Triunity of God, vol. 4 of Post-Reformation Reformed Dogmatics: The Rise and Development of Reformed Orthodoxy, ca. 1520 to ca. 1725 (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2003):

Note: this excellent work is difficult to find in print. Possibly the best thing to do in order to get a physical copy or copies is to purchase a copy of this book or the excellent 4 volume set of which it is a part with Logos Bible software, and then request permission to print however many copies are necessary from Baker Book House, unless used copies can be located.

3.) Owen, John, Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, ed. Kelly M. Kapic (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2007):

Note: The edition of Owen’s classic by Kapic is recommended over other editions, because Kapic includes an extensive introduction, a translation of all Latin terms, and other helps to make Owen’s sometimes difficult English more comprehensible without changing the content of his work in any way. You can find his book, although without Capic’s very helpful material, for free online, but Kapic’s edition is preferred.
